I'd love to see one of these kinds of controllers in a local shop so I could try it out. I can help thinking that it looks a bit awkward to play, especially with long fingernails. Won't you hit more than the key you're aiming for every now and then?

I thought this design was *meant* to be used by hitting multiple keys at a time? I kinda like it, it seems similar to a harmonica's bass-section. I don't think you can play those with long finger-nails either but that's not really a major concern to me. :¬)

Yeah, my concerns are probably not that relevant Smile

Like I said, it would be really interesting to try one of these out without having to commit the money.

Is this for people who can't play piano? I don't think it has any advantages over the good ol' piano keyboard.

I must admit I would like one, as a guitar player I have never got on with keyboards.

I had a look at the website and the 64 key one is £850, far too expensive!
