Suzuki, 49-Key Digital Sound Guitar (QC1)

I've had one of these things for 10 years ever since my fingers made it impossible to play a guitar. I really like to sing and this provides me something easy to have music without Melody but something to keep me on key. When people ask me about it I say it's music for dummies because it doesn't really take any great knowledge of music to use it. It is a little pricey but other than that great

If You want to use an external power supply for this, bear in mind, that it shall be 12 V reversed, that is +to outer and -to inner. It draws very little power, so it runs hrs and hrs on just batteries. But still batteries cost.

very good

Love it. Makes making music easy.

I was looking at autoharps - wanted an instrument that was easy to learn, easy to carry, and sounded good. Then I found the Q-Chord and the price was so good I went ahead and bought it. I am SO GLAD I DID. I absolutely love this thing. AC Adapter for Suzuki QChord). I bought the Rhythm Style QCard Cartridge (for use with the Suzuki QChord) as well and a book of folk song songs that included the chords and the melody line.Wow. All I can say is that I can waste HOURS playing on this fun instrument. I could start playing songs right away - not much learning curve on the basic functions.It is really not like a guitar - it is more like an electronic autoharp with jamming capabilities. Even though in the photos they show people holding it and playing it like a guitar, that would actually be impossible because you can't reach all of the chord buttons. But it works very nicely on my lap or on a table. You don't need any keyboard or piano skills. Just press the chord button and stum with your fingers. No picks, no sore fingers.My husband plays guitar and I've always wanted to be able to play along. Now I can. And I didn't need months or years of music lessons!If you love music but don't know how to make it on your own, the Q-chord is fabulous. Even if you just hum or whistle its fun.My plan is to learn a handful of old time songs and hymns and then volunteer at the nursing home or hospice. I'm really glad I chose this instrument.
