Is nice that you can open the JavaScript console (F12) and it shows the name of the notes (along the musical octave).

Is a shame there are some chords that you can't play (chord: pressing notes at the same time), such as "yup". But I think is a hardware limitation rather than a bug in the JavaScript.

It depends on your keyboard. I can play "yup". What happens is keyboard ghosting: http://www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/antighostingexplain...

It seem to support any 4 keys at a time for me (when I hit a fifth key, the first tone drops out), though I didn't look hard for exceptions.
