Finding a Piano that Doesn't Use 12-tone Scale?

[truecam]

Listening to modern music and jazz, which sometimes has a crucial inclusion of microtones or pitch bends. Of course its possible to mess around with a digital piano and get a certain sound, but its still not set up in a way that allows for easy manipulation of microtones. And for a regular piano I would assume the only way would be to tune it to a specific way.

Are there other formats of keyboard that don't use 12 keys per octave? Seems restrictive, especially when modern music is utilizing microtones a lot more especially with voice.

I have seen alternate keyboards that have a way of creating microtones (microtone adjustments).  I vaguely remember something like a slider.  My guess is that if you do a search for something like "microtone + keyboard" you'll find something.  It might be cool for you to share it here if you do find something.

There is nothing new under the sun.

My ancient Yamaha P500 has a pitch bend wheel.
