"There have been a few attempts over the years to offer keyboard players some of the advantages of guitar technique.............
The Easy-Chord, as the name suggests, has an obvious place in music education. It's a very quick way to pick up the smooth production
of chords........"

"Wow! - as a reasonably accomplished guitarist I couldn't believe the sounds I could get out of the
Easy-Chord. I particularly enjoyed picking with banjo selected - great fun." - John Hodgkinson, Swanmore.

"As a non
player, I found the biggest advantage of the Easy-Chord to be the short length of time needed to be able to play a recognisable song.
I would not have been able to find enough time to dedicate to learning to play a conventional guitar. The chord selection buttons
are well positioned and easy to learn. The built in speaker makes it convenient to pick up and play without the need for any other
equipment." - Simon Leach, Basingstoke.

"My 5 and 9 year old children learned to play a song on the Easy-Chord in a
few minutes after I showed them 3 easy chords." - Paul, Eastleigh.

"After many years making music as an amateur, first
on clarinet, when I retired I took up the keyboard. Then five years ago I had a stroke. All my right side was paralysed - after a
few years of exercise I got back to normal except for the fingers of my right hand. They can't work on their own - whenI put one finger
down they all go down. So, thinking that I'd never make any kind of music again, I saw the report of your Easy-Chord in KEYBOARD PLAYER
magazine.
Your Easy-Chord must be the easiest instrument to play ever. In a couple of hours I could play every major chord without
looking at the instruction book. In a few days you play every major, minor, plus their seventh and their diminished and augmented
by pressing one button with your thumb. To get the seventh you just include the half string in your strumming. I found in a few weeks
I was playing many songs.
Thank you for bringing home-made music back into my life again." - Charles Rumbold, Sudbury.
