What makes the QChord special?

The Suzuki QChord QC-1 has a look and sound all of its own: glossy burgundy casework, soft chord pads, a harp-like strumplate and a warm speaker system that makes it feel more intimate than many electronic instruments.

Many players use it very simply: choose a chord, let the pad strings support the voice, then brush the strumplate for gentle harp notes. It is friendly for beginners, but expressive enough for covers, writing and live performance.
