Abstract
1,098,024. Chord indicators; keyboards. WARWICK ELECTRONICS Inc. March 5, 1965 [March 9, 1964], No. 9493/65. Headings G5J and G5X. In a keyboard musical instrument, certain keys which when played together form a chordal background to a melody are provided with a visual indication that they are chordally related. As shown, in the great manual 18 of an organ, the keys F, A and C of an F major chord have green bars 21 to indicate their chordal relationship, and the keys G, B and D of a G major chord and the keys G, C and E of a C major chord have red bars 22 and black bars 23 respectively. Preferably, these coloured bars are only apparent when the operator manually actuates a source of illumination beneath the translucent keys. Letters 20 identifying the keys and embossed thereon also show up on illumination. A swell manual 25 may also have illuminable letters 26 on the keys for identification. In a sheet of music for use with the instrument (Fig. 1, not shown) the letter of each note is printed above the note in the treble and each measure or partial measure is blocked into a rectangle of colour representing an appropriate chord.
