Re: Keyboard Ergonomics

 curved piano keyboards will be problematic for many players...however if you make a u-shape that is actually three separate controllers..bass left, synth middle and lead right and use the corners for transport and button controllers you might have a great workstation setup.  Curved single keyboard does not appeal to me. You could provide a great controller space however...with triple functionality and still have a curved casing....

Dear friends, I really need your help. I am designing a keyboard which is quite different from what we imagine of "keyboard".

Firstly, its shape is not linear; it looks like a curve. And keys are placed with an angle. Also I propose a different usage of thumb.

Can you please look at the drawing on the link and comment on it. I am not a keyboardist and your help is really valuable for me.

Best wishes...
