Jammer keyboard
A Jammer keyboard is a musical instrument characterized by at least one isomorphic keyboard and thumb-operated and/or motion-sensing expressive controls. The instrument is designed to be easy to learn and to enable the exploration of dynamic tonality.[citation needed]
Description[edit]
Research suggests that Jammers may enable more expressive potential than other polyphonic musical instruments such as the piano, guitar, and accordion.[1] Isomorphic keyboards similar to those used in a Jammer have been shown to accelerate the rate at which students grasp otherwise-abstract concepts in music theory.[2][3]
Inventor Jim Plamondon founded the company Thumtronics in 2003 and first developed a prototype instrument called the Thummer.[4] Plamondon then developed the Jammer, which uses the Wicki/Hayden note layout.[5]
