Or maybe it isn't. A small Japanese company called Chromatome certainly didn't think so when they invented the Chromatome 312 -- a synthesizer with 312 unlabeled keys that sought to overhaul the long-standard 88 key layout for piano keyboards. It looks like a giant typewriter.
The practice required to manipulate hundreds (literally) of unlabeled keys would be massive indeed, but if you're looking for something with a high octave range, look no further.
I could be wrong here, but it seems that octaves (all the A notes, B notes, etc.) are grouped together, so there's a small ray of hope for anyone who dares to play this thing.
Monday's instrument might make you lose your marbles.
