Description
Cramer's patent "consists in enabling the musician, by means of another key-board and differently-arranged notes, to attain the same proficiency in music by learning to play one key that he acquires by learning to play out of the present twelve keys. In fact, any one of the twelve keys in this system is played in the very same manner, thus saving the labor of making a separate study of more than one of them." (Patent Number 152,726)
