Is the QChord like an Autoharp? Only in that they both have buttons that you push to select chords. The Autoharp has strings, the QChord instead has an electronic strumplate. The Autoharp is limited to as many as 21 chords while the QChord has 84. The Autoharp can only play in as many as 7 Keys, the QChord in all 12 Keys. The QChord has many features not found on the Autoharp such as built- in Rhythm Accompaniments, the ability to transpose (play in one key, but be in another) and much more. People who play the Autoharp will be pleased with the simplicity of the QChord and all it's added features. They will be able to take "chord" music to new levels not before possible. What is the difference between Omnichord and QChord? The Omnichord has been replaced with the QCHORD. The new QChord plays the same as the Omnichord, but has many new features: 1) 100 sounds on the strumplate instead of only ten; 2) 30 additional rhythms as an option; 3) improved sound system; 4) optional song cards can play fully orchestrated music that you just strum along with. Many of our customers, who previously played the Omnichord, tell us how happy they are with the new QChord. They really like the improved sound and the 100 more voices than the Omnichord had. The QChord is, for all practical purposes, an Omnichord. In fact, I still refer to it as an Omnichord with a new model name of QChord. It plays exactly the same as the Omnichord, but has so many more features. While it does not have the chord memory feature, the Song Card capability offers far more flexibility than the older models. Also, the QChord has Midi IN and OUT whereas older models only had a Midi OUT. How will I be able to play the QChord if I can't read music? There's no need to be able to read music or for that matter know anything about music to play the QChord or Omnichord. The instrument has rows of buttons which are all labeled with chord names such as C, G, D, etc. Most music books contain chord names along with song lyrics. Simply press buttons which correspond to chords indicated as you slide or tap your fingers along an electronic strumplate. If you can tap your foot or fingers to the beat of a song, you can play the QChord. Do I have to sing everything or can I also play melody with the QChord? For people who love to sing, the QChord is a natural! Just follow the chords in any song and sing-a-long to your heart's content. But that's not all! At Pop's Music, we show you how you can also play the melody of a song using just chords without having to sing. Our Melody Chord System is included free with your purchase.
