To avoid awkward reaches when playing near the upper or lower edge of the keyboard, some duplication of pitches might be desirable, analogous to a button accordion having 5 rows of buttons but only 3 rows of reeds. This picture shows a layout in which every ~~key~~ appears twice.

=== Bosanquet layout ===

A 7-column hexagonal layout. See the first lumatone link below.

=== 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.

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