=== Multi-Halberstadt ===

One can use several conventional 12-edo keyboards simultaneously. For example, there can be two keyboards, one set above the other. Each one is tuned skip-key, analogous to one string on a Kite guitar, so that the 5th spans 12 keys. One keyboard is tuned one edostep sharper than the other. This provides an isomorphic layout that contains all 41 notes without specialized hardware. But it takes two hands to do what one hand does in 12-edo, e.g. play a tetrad in close position.

Another approach is to compose music for two halberstadt keyboardists, each one playing one half of 41edo.

For a layout that contains a 41-edo subset, see https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_73151.html#74155

Line 133:

The mechanism could be similar to an accordion. Inside an accordion, each reed is in a little wooden box. It's like a tiny room, a closet where the reed is the door of the room. Valves limit a reed to sound on either inhale or exhale, but valves wouldn't be needed in a reed organ. Air flows in/out thru a hole in the ceiling when the button on the roof is pressed.
