A photo gallery of Janko Keyboards, with explanations and more links. Great research !
A wholetone keyboard called the Chromatone powered by a top-of-the-range Korg synth. The site is still in Japanese, but maybe English version soon to come. Looks like an under-capitalized venture. Got cash? Buy them up and help them out!
Already available, the Wilson Microzone keyboard made by Starrlabs. Just click on "Keyboards".
The Continuum keyboard handmade to order.
The Thummer looks very promising, buy their shares, sign up for the instrument. This is the coolest keyboard out yet. Their site is full of well thought out and well presented information, and from it you can google your way to countless discoveries, for example:
Nothing is new. The honeycomb was invented in 1729 by Leonhard Euler who called it Tonnetz
A page of old designs for concertina keyboards snidely called What's new?
The Daskin keyboard, the deluxe Janko style keyboard is finally available after years of painstaking development.

This site would not have been made without the help of the late Charly Founes. He got it started and made the first virtual instruments, and then taught me how to do them myself. I pillaged his Javascripts to make the Random Ragas. Check out his guy's work!
