A NEW KEYBOARD INSTRUMENT
If we think of all the red arms rotating in one direction
and all the blue arms rotating in the other direction, we might see how one
expands and the other might contract... Each arm represents not only a
direction of motion but a multiple, an expanding, contracting, concave, convex,
inside and outside.
We take 180 degrees as the limit of velocity... within this limit all of
the notes with simple ratios fit into this relation of angle to polygon and are
placed at the appropriate points. We can see a pattern emerging of notes of
a scale from F, F, A, to B, which can be played on an instrument. The
piano-like keys are a design for a curved piano.
