  • a multitude of touch plates attached to a support and formed by a front end, a back end, two straight sides, and a top surface in a manner that leaves a hollow cavity inside the touch plate, whereinthe touch plates are widest between the two straight sides;

    the top surfaces have a shallow dip simulating form of a fingertip on the widest part of the touch plate;

    each straight side has a tapered slot enabling stretching of the cavity to attach and detach the plates to and from the support;

    each front end has a narrow tip, and the front ends of adjacent touch plates form a wavelike pattern;

    each back end has a narrow tip, and the back ends of adjacent touch plates form a wavelike pattern; and

    said wavelike pattern formed by back ends matches with the wavelike patterns formed by the front ends, thereby enabling close connection of the horizontal rows, andwherein the touch plates for natural notes are colored with one color and the touch plates for accidental notes are colored with another color, andwherein natural notes are grouped in two groups, one with three keys and another with four keys, and where members of the three key group carry a marking, and wherein accidental notes are grouped in two groups, one with two keys and another with three keys, and where members of the two key group carry a marking.
