I once searched "best workstation keyboard" and happened to glance at the summary, and it legitimately was trying to compare mechanical typing keyboards like Nuphy and Keychron, with music keyboards like Yamaha's Montage and Roland's Fantom. Which, NGL, was pretty entertaining.

Music keyboards do have that sweet n-key rollover. So, there's probably some Emacs users playing their editor like a piano.

Well, apparently you can extend Emacs to have it:

Emaccordion

Control your Emacs with an accordion — or any MIDI instrument!
[...]
You can e.g. plug in a MIDI pedalboard (like one in a church organ) for modifier keys (ctrl, alt, shift); or you can define chords to trigger complex commands or macros.
[...]
The idea for the whole thing came from [dead link]. I immediately became totally convinced that a full-size chromatic button accordion with its 120 bass keys and around 64 treble keys would be the epitome of an input device for Emacs.

"Keychron is praised for its thoccy sound, whereas Yamaha is well regarded for its melodic key sounds"

Some Reddit users suggests Golden Gate is a good choice

Well the Keychrons are more customizable than a Yamaha. I bet you can't even swap the switches on the Montage.

Yeah, and don't even get me started on the price!
