The other amazing model of our scale system is of course the circle of fifths. That and the piano model the same thing in slightly different ways.
it is very connected to pythagorean maths, but is all about fundamental and harmonic frequencies, rather than religious or paegan stuff. And actually the whole development and system is even more aligned to F lydan and G mixolydian than C major, which is why lydian and mixolydian are amongst the original greek modes but ionian isn’t, but that requires even more explanation.
Anyway, from that acoustic scale, you can start to build the modes.
And the correct answer to the OP's question is...
"To get to the other side...."
Are the black and white keys actually in "perfect harmony"?
if you have one or two obvious web links I could start exploring from that would be really helpful
... Yep. That looks like the stuff I remember. Poke around and you'll find answers to most of those questions. Redit can be a bit of a flea pit, but the music theory section can be very good.

Bonza! Thank you
In terms of instruments, the hydraulic organ was around as far back as 300BC, and the pneumatic organ was introduced (actually re-introduced apparently) to the West in 756AD. They also didn’t look the same as today. The Winchester organ in around 1000 had a diatonic scale with an extra Bb.
It was well after that that the harpsichord and associated instruments came into existence, followed by the fortepiano, then the pianoforte.
