Sonome Converter - Give the Piano a more intuitive layout (Harmonic Table) by cognition

Customizable: This is a parametric design. Hit "Open In Customizer" to take advantage of that and see all the different parts that are generated!
Uses trigonometry (and some other math) to put the Harmonic Table layout on virtually any piano, turning it into a sonome.
The harmonic table is a layout much easier to learn than the age-old linear staggered arrangement of the traditional piano or keyboard. It's isomorphic, meaning you only have to learn the shape of a chord once, and then that is the same shape for the same chord in all 12 keys. That's a 12x speed boost! You can switch to any key whenever you like just by shifting your hand - transposing is easy!
Not only is it faster to learn, it allows you to intuitively improvise and play with regular intervals in music theory. To learn more, look up "harmonic table".
I plan to add an attachment piece so this can rest on the piano keys and press them when the corresponding hexagon is pressed. The math checks out, but plastic may not be rigid enough to direct the force to the key (vs. simply bending the connector bar).
