[Launch] A new instrument that eliminates practice stress! Guitar-style electronic instrument "Strummo"

InstaChord Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku, Tokyo; Representative: Yuichi Nagata) has developed "Strummo," a guitar-style electronic instrument that allows even those with no musical experience to enjoy "playing and singing" with just 5 minutes of practice. Without the need to memorize chords or endure painful finger practice, users can simply select numbers with their left hand and tap out rhythms with their right to enjoy guitar-like performances. The product will be available for pre-order starting at 18:00 on May 28, 2026, on "Makuake," a service operated by Makuake, Inc. Strummo was developed to become a "familiar companion" for those who have given up on instruments or have never touched one, helping them discover the joy of playing their favorite songs. Weighing less than a 500ml plastic bottle and featuring a compact body that fits in a bag, it can be played anywhere, anytime. Additionally, the dedicated app "KANTAN Chord" automatically converts over 1 million songs available online into numbers, allowing users to play their desired tracks immediately. The planned retail price is 28,000 yen (tax included), while the Makuake pre-order price is 24,800 yen (tax included).
