Various hexagonal Lumatone layouts are a possibility too.

===~~1st~~ skip-key layout===

===Horizontal skip-key layout===

Skipping every other key like the Kite guitar skips frets makes chord shapes twice as compact. Also it makes it easy to switch from Kite guitar to Kite keyboard. The obvious layout duplicates the Kite guitar exactly. One hand plays in each rainbow zone. ~~For most~~ notes, you can roll on that note with both hands, good for rhythmically dense music.[[File:The Kite Tuning 3.png|none|thumb|879x879px]]

This picture matches the 8x25 Linnstrument, if you omit the first column and add 1 row. But the Linnstrument would have only a 3 octave range. And it gives you 2 full rainbow zones in only 6 keys! These 6 tonics are found in the 2x3 rectangle in the bottom 3 rows, in the columns marked "-1" and "0".

Line 57:

30 columns makes a 7x3 rectangle = 21 keys. To get a 13x3 rectangle = 39 keys, we need 36 columns. If one ever needed to play in the other 2 keys, they would still work. One would just give up the high ^M6. Or go to 37 columns, or 40 or even 45 or 50 to let you play [[Kite Guitar Translations by Kite Giedraitis#I Will Survive .28Gloria Gaynor.29|"I Will Survive"]] in any key. (This song "walks" all over the fretboard.) To get a full 5 octave range, more rows are needed. 14 rows makes 5 octaves. 14 x 30 = 420 keys and 14 x 40 = 560 keys.

===~~2nd~~ skip-key layout ===

===Vertical skip-key layout ===

You could rotate the layout 90 degrees so that one long rainbow zone runs sideways. "Strings" are now columns ~~not rows~~, like the Harpejji. This is more like a piano layout, runs mainly left to right, not down to up.

The smaller Linnstrument's 16 columns would make 5 octaves. But the zone doesn't fit entirely on the 8 rows. 12 or more rows are needed for a single tonic's zone. To get a 3x13 rectangle of 39 tonics, 24 rows are needed. 24 rows by 16 columns = 384 keys.

===Harpejji Options===

In the chart above, the rows are strings. The player is on the left, facing right. If the lowest string is on the player's left, all the guitar chord shapes would be flipped to their mirror image. Rather than having a luthier refret it, it's probably best to get Marcodi to do a custom fretting, better in the long run for later customers. Note that the intra-string ~~gap~~ changes from 2\12 to 13\41, so new string gauges are needed.

'''<u>12 strings</u>''' x 15 old frets (25 or 26 new) = $2600
