The Keaton Music Typewriter



This instrument was first patented in 1936 by Robert H Keaton from San Francisco, California. The typewriter was promoted in the 1950s and sold for around $225. The machine made it easier to produce music copies in large quantities for publishers, educators, and other musicians. The distinct circular look of the typewriter made it very popular in its time.
