Electra-Chord brings easy piano chords to life in new device
A self taught inventor Lee Von Gunten, 32, developed the Electra-Chord for pianos, built by Wood and Brooks of Buffalo. The device uses magnets to trigger normal piano action, letting players form chords with one finger on the left hand while the right hand reads music. It teaches harmony without changing tone or touch and includes bass notes and tenths. The project took five years and thousands of hours of testing, with interest from Vincent Lopez and Lawrence Welk for TV use. Durward Kirby will emcee CBSs Candid Camera this fall after Arthur Godfrey leaves.
