The chord organ is a kind of home organ that typically has a single short keyboard and a set of chord buttons, enabling the musician to play a melody or lead with one hand and accompanying chords with the other, like the accordion. It was invented by Laurens Hammond in 1950〔 〕 (model S-6) as an ''electronic'' home organ based on vacuum-tube circuits, similar to his earlier Novachord and Solovox models. In addition to Hammond, also Wurlitzer,〔Wurlitzer ''Model 4100 BP'' (1959–1963) has chord unit on lower left. See for details.〕 Farfisa〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Farfisa Model VIP-205R )〕 and Estey Organ made electronic chord organs. In 1958, Magnus Organ Corporation introduced its ''electric'' chord organs, similar to electrically blown small home reed organs. Since then, chord organs were generally designed as instruments for beginners, and separated from the mainstream of home electronic organs. In addition to Magnus, also Emenee,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Strydel/Emenee Story )〕 Bontempi and Belcanto made electric chord organs. == Chord organ musicians == *Daniel Johnston *The Microphones/Mount Eerie *Modest Mouse (on the album ''Sad Sappy Sucker'') *The Music Tapes *Elliott Smith *Paul Tesluk (of Johnny and the Hurricanes rock group) *Cortney Tidwell Chord organs have seen a recent revival amongst minimalist and ambient musicians. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「chord organ」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
