Accessory Review: Chord Assisted Tool for Ukulele

Some time ago, I purchased this “Chord Assisted Tool for Ukulele,” which was less expensive from Walmart online than Amazon (this is no longer the case).
Of the different devices I have used, this one has the most features and seems to work the best.
This isn’t for everyone, and it’s main problem is that you can’t see the letters on the buttons. However, if you know a person that has some physical limitations but could press buttons to play a ukulele, this could be a game changer, allowing them to play along with quite a few songs.

Very interesting. I might pick one up for my 8 year old.

This was very helpful. I will have to give this a try. I have trouble getting the cords because I have broken my hand in 4 places from a past fall and my middle finger did not heal correctly and my hand is still stiff.

Hopefully this will work!

I don't think I've ever played the ukulele but I am looking for more things to incorporate with my program that teaches various forms of performing arts to adults with special needs. Also, I play the piano and would love to play guitar or ukulele but my hands do not have a lot of strong grip and it has been painful in the past to do the chording. So I've already been looking into something like this for myself. Especially for doing my traveling shows for kids and educators when a keyboard is not always convenient.

I struggled to reach the keys because the device was so chunky, but I might look at it again. I was thinking about using the same colour sticker system sometimes used for beginners. I have a chord buddy at the moment and I am still slow.

[@makaylaferrence5244]

But it doesn’t have every ukulele chord, correct?

[@UkeStuff]

Correct. You couldn’t create a device for every chord; you have to pick a common key and do the best you can. The UkeBuddy has 3. I have another review of another assistive device coming soon.

Are there any ukulele chord changing tools that work for a tenor uke?

[@UkeStuff]

Not that I know of.

[@katiejones268]

I can’t find this. Are you able to link it here?

[@UkeStuff]

Just search Amazon for “Ukulele Chord Changer” and one will pop up. It’s the same model offered by different stores and as they sell out, the stores disappear. It’s sort of like Whack-A-Mole because they keep popping up from different vendors!

[@duzzrecords]

I want please send link ?

[@UkeStuff]

You'll have to do a search on Amazon; the product changes "sellers" all the time (I think they are bulk imported by different sellers). Our school recently bought another one for $17, again from Amazon.
