The ever-arising question in microtonal music, how to play it on instruments designed for 12edo, has a relatively simple answer in the case of 24edo: use two standard instruments tuned a quartertone apart. This [[Microtonal Keyboards#twelvenoteoctavescales|"12 note octave scales"]] approach is used in a wide part of the existing literature - see below.
