The KeyKord series out of Chicago were a specialty contract for Stromberg-Voisinet, who later became Kay. They came with unfretted necks fitted with elaborate chord-fingering machinery mounted in a metal box above the fingerboard. The idea was instead of actually fingering chords, the player pressed a little illustrated tab with the chord symbol on it, strummed and voila!-the instrument played the chord for you! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis instrument was called a tenor guitar but is tuned to baritone uke tuning, and the chord symbols match those from the popular ukulele sheet music of the day although in practice it is playing in a different key! While this general idea would be revived more than once (as by Maccaferri in the 1950's) the keyKord was the most elaborate and ambitious exercise of the idea. Despite the ingenuity involved, these remain more of an amusing novelty than fully functional instrument...after all the \"Guitar Hero\" style video games are really the modern equivalent! This tenor guitar was a fairly elaborate creation with a full 21 chord tabs, a pearloid headstock with \"KeyKord\" incised and tabbed Grover tuners.

Towson MD\" -at least we think it's \"Bunky\"; it's hard to be sure because it's partially covered by taped-on mailing labels which detail the next part of the story.
