Students and teachers in the island province of Basilan were among the first to try a proudly Pinoy invention that promises to make guitar and music lessons easier for beginners.
The Jerichord is a three-stringed instrument created by music teacher and inventor Jericho Castro to help simplify the teaching of complex notes and chords, particularly in guitar. This unique instrument is a practical instructional tool for students, and even teachers, who are just starting to learn music fundamentals.
The Jerichord helps music students learn complex notes and chords.
The Technology Application and Promotion Institute (TAPI) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) supported Castro in developing the Jerichord through grant assistance that helped him produce 100 units of his invention. DOST-TAPI also helped him secure intellectual property protection for the Jerichord through support in filing for its utility model and industrial design registrations.
