About - Deck of Chords

The Deck of Chords Story

Deck of Chords was developed in 1967 in Cleveland, Ohio by Pete Zoellner and Fred Smith. Both professional musicians, they worked together for years preparing the final version of the Deck of Chords that is now available.

By using a local publisher in Cleveland, Oahu Publishing, they were able to get their product to market quickly. Only the untimely passing of Pete Zoellner would slow the national spread of their product.
Now, once again, it is available! The same great product is still the best of it’s kind and available to you today!
