Fritz Micklitz at 1911 increased the range on the left side ,and sold the instrument as Zademack-Micklitz lay out.
Shortly after Micklitz started his firm ,Ernst Kusserow and Miklitz his son, Richard improved the lay out by changing the left side.
A row of doubled tones was added to the right side by Mr.A.Gerlinger in order to simplify the playing of chromatic scales.
