That Michela keyboard is amazing! The little button Accordions are chaos. Dozens of popular formats. I suspect the big chromatic ones may be the most popular isomorphic alternative to the piano, with thousands if not tens of thousands of players in Europe and the former USSR.

Interestingly Charles Wheatstone invented the English concertina in 1829 too (which has a different keyboard again)

Wheatstone’s telegraph lost out because Morse code devices were so much simpler mechanically
