Ph. D., MUSIC, UCSD, 1997 I am a man with an idea attached. Check it out . I have created a new--REVOLUTIONARY--design for a music keyboard. It is based on the fingerboard pattern of the Quartal Guitar (EADGCF). However, it has taken on a life of its own. The QUARTAL BOARD (QB) has been the fire in my gut since 1973. The attributes of the QB were apparent to me upon inception--it has taken a lifetime to create the proof needed for this presentation.
