The dream of wielding a Star Trek alien musical instrument like the one shown above can now be yours courtesy of the Suzuki Q Chord. Designed to avoid allowing the playing of any wrong notes, the Q Chord combines the best aspects of a keyboard and a guitar into one convenient, albeit odd-looking, device. Before you dismiss the Q Chord as pure gimmickry, consider the list of professional artists that have used the instrument: David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Brian Eno, Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr and Bjork. All this otherworldly music control can be yours for just $259 here.
