Second set of three rows?
What is the purpose of the the second set of three rows? With only one set, you can play any scale with one fingering pattern. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.131.33 (talk) 20:31, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Same problem with optimized computer keyboard
The regular keyboard has the same problem. The highest frequency letters are not under the "rest" position. It's easy to reorganize the keyboard so typing is faster, but it is not easy to first, relearn, then second, and most particularly, to switch back and forth. 24.130.14.14 (talk) 09:42, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Liszt quote
The book "Rethinking revolutions through ancient Greece" by Simon Goldhill and Robin Osborne seems to be the source of Liszt's quote. But it is not stated as a fact: "Liszt is alleged to have predicted […]". Markus00000 (talk) 10:08, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Removal of quotations
I traced the Rubinstein quote back to a serious website by Robert Gaskins robertgaskins(-at-)gaskins.org.uk I'll ask him where he got it from. MusicScienceGuy (talk) 07:00, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Priority - whose design is it?
"Many embodiments of this keyboard have appeared since its conception", says the article, then proceeds to name seven different inventors granted patents (or design registration) before 1882, when Jankó was said to design "his" keyboard. However, without more details of their inventions, it remains unclear whether Jankó's design, which incorporates repeated sets of two rows of keys, was original with him, or whether he merely refined (and more successfully publicised) it. Clearly, earlier inventors (e.g. Lunn, 1843) had created layouts that incorporate two rows of keys, each of which implements a whole-tone scale. So the article could usefully: yoyo (talk) 15:44, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
 * provide more historical detail of earlier whole-tone row keyboard designs;
 * identify Jankó's innovations;
 * explain why this keyboard design now bears his name.
