[0002] A chord is composed of several notes that have a certain interval relationship with each other. The guitar presents music through the transformation and playing techniques of chords. The playing of chords usually involves pressing the strings with the left hand and plucking or sweeping the strings with the right hand. There are many types of chords, the most common of which are triads (such as major triads, minor triads, etc.), seventh chords (such as major seventh chords, minor seventh chords, etc.) and suspended chords. The pressing methods of these chords on the guitar are different, but they are all achieved by pressing the fingers of the left hand on different frets. In addition, the key change requires changing different fingerings, which is cumbersome to operate and requires a lot of memory and repeated practice to master. Therefore, a chord piano that fundamentally solves simple chords and facilitates key change is needed to achieve the purpose of being simple to get started, easy to learn and efficient.

The lower part is closed, and the upper part has a plurality of sound holes 10 in a long strip shape. Plucking the strings produces freer vibrations, forms resonance, strengthens the timbre, and allows the sound inside the instrument to be transmitted outside the instrument.

[0040] Embodiment 2

[0041] The working method of the chord piano: for triads, just pluck the three adjacent strings at the same time. If you want to increase or decrease the modulation or change the key, just move the modulation ring 5 to the corresponding fret; similarly, for seventh chords, pluck the four adjacent strings at the same time, for ninth chords, pluck the five adjacent strings at the same time, for eleventh chords, pluck the six adjacent strings at the same time, and for thirteenth chords, pluck the seven adjacent strings at the same time.

[0042] Furthermore, the strings 9 of the chord guitar use at least 7 strings, and the names of the open strings from thin to thick are: treble E, treble C, middle A, middle F, middle D, bass B, bass G, and the corresponding simplified notations are: 3, 1, 6, 4, 2, 7, 5.

[0043] Embodiment 3

[0044] A chord guitar uses 9 strings, so two bass strings can be added to the basis of 7 strings. The names of the open strings from thin to thick are: treble E, treble C, middle A, middle F, middle D, bass B, bass G, bass E, bass C. The corresponding simplified notations are: 3, 1, 6, 4, 2, 7, 5, 3, 1, and the corresponding singing names are: mi, do, la, fa, re, si, sol, mi, do.

[0045] Furthermore, triads, taking the chords in C major as an example, play three adjacent strings. C major chords include: C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bdim, etc. First to seventh degree triads.
