The principle makes it possible to separate the ranges into two parts, one on each side. The keyboard is therefore double, &#8216;dual&#8217; in English.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Very quickly it appeared that this double keyboard make it possible to simplify the visualisation and learning of certain musical notions, and even facilitate the playing of them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Music is a universal language and it is therefore towards Esperanto that Jules Hotrique naturally turned to choose a name for his keyboard. Esperanto is a language created in 1887 to facilitate exchanges and communication between people all over the planet. Designed to be a universal language, Esperanto can be learned in one or two months and carries values of peace and benevolence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Yet, in Esperanto, we go from an adjective to a noun by adding an &#8216;o&#8217;. Thus from the word &#8216;dual&#8217; came the word &#8216;dualo&#8217; by incorporating the principles of construction of Esperanto.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The circle was complete, the dualo keyboard, a universal keyboard allowing faster access to the musical language, took on a name based on a universal language that can be learned quickly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As for the values of peace and benevolence, don&#8217;t we say that &#8216;music soothes the soul&#8217;?<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;column_reverse&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;column_reverse&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;padding-2-percent&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9133,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-en"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dualo.com\/_dualo_wpcom1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/principe-dualo-1.jpg?fit=640%2C274&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dualo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dualo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dualo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dualo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dualo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9720"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dualo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9720\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17076,"href":"https:\/\/dualo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9720\/revisions\/17076"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dualo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dualo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dualo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dualo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
