As someone who plays a bit of piano, I find that interesting. But I wonder about a few things: the current layout makes it dead easy to play using the Do scale, and it gets more and more awkward as you add sharps or flats to change the key; but you tend to play much more frequently things in Do major, Fa major, Sol major...

Wouldn't that layout make it that much more akward to play basic stuff? Do-Mi-Sol would require you to put one finger in the top row, at a different distance than the one between the Do and the Mi...

I don't know, it seems a bit strange to me, but then again, that was the idea of that post. I'd love to try out such a layout some day.
