Surprisingly, all classical polyphonic keyboards like piano and organ

works according to 'a'. If you - while playing four-handed piano -

accidentally strikes a note already held by the other player, nothing

will happen (in musical terms, that is ...)
Polyphony is what is supposed to happen when you strike /different/

notes and doubling notes will normally be done by pressing the

hold-pedal and then striking the note twice.
