generalized keyboards - availability?

Hi All,

Someone was asking me about the availability of generalized keyboards - that is,
ones not consisting of a linear array of keys but a 2-D array.
The only one I could think of is Starrlabs Wilson keyboard.
Are there any others that are available for sale?

Thanks,

--Bill Sethares

Hi Seth and all,

The AFMM project initiated by Joel Mandelbaum is more than half way there. A
first, single octave keyboard, will be sent to us in NYC for trial. It is to
work with Scala software. I will announce more as I can.

best, Johnny Reinhard

There's chromatic-keyboard.com, which is presumably for sale,
but the 12-tET duplicate keys are physically joined.

Bill,

Siemen Terpstra in the Netherlands is involved in a
project with an American company to make 2 dimensional
generalized keyboards, perhaps even making two
different generalized keyboard designs. This may or
may not be what Johnny was referring to.

Yep, that's the one. Johnny
