Ladies and Gentlemen may I present to you ePBT Musician. This set is inspired by the magnificent musical instrument Piano. A hobby of mine which I practice 7 years. 1 Year ago I got into the keyboard community. Then my goal was to create a set by my favourite musical instrument piano. The sets aims to simplicity and minimalism using gmk colors. Yes I know it's a bow and wob set but with a little change to it

This is how the Capriccio Kit looks like on the ortho and normal 60% layout. Should I let it be?

Why not vertical stripes for a piano?
Stick to RAL if you are not using GMK colors btw
I tried this and it didn't looked that awesome
its a lot more awesomer imo

Looks like a keyboard now imo
So I saw an earlier post trying to mimic the piano look with the colorways... I wanna tried and see how it would look like, so I photoshopped the render a bit.

I think the idea would work better on an ortho.
But how about a simplified view from the top of a grand piano? Like this:

Or maybe an alternating 2 blacks - 3 blacks thing on the piano (I barely know where Do is so I'm not sure what those notes are called xd):

Hey everyone! There weren't updates due to missing time. This time I bringed a minor update adding some keys to "The Capriccio Kit", the renders were fixed and added new ones. Rest are very minor changins. Please fill the google form! I would be proud to get some feedback on adding something that you would want.

I love the stripes in the Capriccio kit, however I think that it should keep the pattern from the above comment. The even stripes throughout doesn't look very piano-y. I think starting on the C note (having QA in black) is a good idea, but in that case, the Y, I, and P rows should be black instead of the T, U, and O rows. Pretty awesome that a full octave fits on an ortho, but keeping the keys as they are would keep the B note omitted (as the backspace row would act as a B Flat).
Alternatively, you could just include the entire R2/R3 rows and let people customize it as they wish (not sure how much that would drive up the overall cost). With QMK supporting MIDI, I think this could be a really cool thing to have if the colors properly correspond with notes.
