\caption{Asymmetric pitch interfaces across instrument families. Trumpet valves produce non-uniform semitone offsets ($-2, -1, -3$); ocarina finger holes cluster asymmetrically across the body to fit the player's grasp; guitar's 6-string EADGBE tuning is uniform in perfect fourths \emph{except} the M3 between G and B; violin keeps strict P5s but each string is a different absolute pitch. The standard piano keyboard is one member of a larger family in which the physical-to-pitch interface is irregular by design --- the diatonic naming keymap embodied in many surfaces, each with its own asymmetry. Trumpet silhouette: Clker-Free-Vector-Images, public domain~\citep{trumpet_silhouette_clker}; ocarina silhouette: Delapouite, CC~BY~3.0 via game-icons.net~\citep{ocarina_delapouite}.}
