      The video maker states “One Simple Change, and a Whole New Tonal World”

      Uhhh, no… Regular pianos can play simply in C, too. No new world, just limiting yourself to one very small world…

      There may be some interesting harmonics that can occur, but not enough to justify everything that is lost.

        I sent that to Grotrian and Bootsy (remember them?) Wirth the caption:

        The C-Major piano. It is beautiful in it's own way but one is enough.

        Thank you for your attention to this matter.

            Apparently, C Major is the only option.

            Let's say I had some music in G Major, would I get a piano with 1 black key?
            I guess it would be 1 black key for each octave.

              You’d have to transpose it in run time.

                    It's both harder to play, and more limited.

                    I'm tempted to ask what problem does this solve.

                    ... what problem does this solve.

                    Art need not be aimed at solving problems.

                    On occasions you want to introduce new problems deliberately just to see if the new problems can inspire new art.

                        ok

                        And on top of that you make a white supremacy hand gesture. You are truly a horrible human being.
