Here's another, perhaps goofy idea:
Have a row of rectangular white keys, just like the white keys of a  
piano, but without the gaps for the black keys. The black keys are  
thin "tabs" above that row, pivoted behind the front panel, much like  
the tab switches of a M-series Hammond organ. They could have about  
the size of traditional black keys, but would probably be placed a  
bit higher.
This way you can have white keys of traditional width, perhaps even  
narrower, which can still easily be pressed in the black-key-area,  
because you press them under, not between the black keys. It would be  
a bit more difficult to press a black and then a adjacent white (or  
vice versa) key with the same finger.

Evereybody got what I mean? It's difficult to describe without a  
drawing.
