My drive to make an isomorphic keyboard comes from my limitations. I have painful joints that can make playing regular musical difficult.
- I can't hold items of any weight for long so that eliminates wind instruments, guitars etc.
- Playing percussion jolts the joints causing pain
- Limits to how wide I can spread my fingers without increasing pain - this means piano keyboards keys are just too far apart
- Stringed instruments often have very contorted hand shapes to hold down the notes - not pleasant on my hands
Using a grid of keys in an isomorphic layout should be better for me to play
- Keys closer together for less stretching
- Chord patterns that require less twisted hand shapes than a regular piano keyboard
- Potentially a smaller, lighter keyboard
