improvise.free.fr asks the question what makes the piano so hard for improvisers and what can be done about it? By way of reply the site offers click-and-play models of alternative keyboards, such as the Janko and Bosanquet designs, as well as chromatic accordeons, plus discussions of what makes a good instrument for improvising as if you were singing in the bath. Other interactive goodies include an atlas of tonespace (everything you ever wanted to know about microtones), guitar chord/arpeggio dictionary and the answer to those eternal questions “what's in a scale/chord?". The site has nothing to sell and is purely an recreational awareness building exercise.

thanks for taking a look
