The C diminished chord (cdim) is a chord that exudes a tense and unresolved feeling. It's made up of three notes: C, D#, and F#. This chord is built by starting with a root note, adding a minor third, and topping it off with a diminished fifth, which gives it that unique edge. In the world of music, you'll often encounter the cdim chord in genres like classical and jazz, where it is used to create suspense or prepare listeners for a shift to a more stable chord. It often plays a pivotal role in chord progressions by acting as a bridge that heightens anticipation before resolving to a more consonant chord, adding intrigue and complexity to the music's flow.

When a chord is inverted, one or more notes are shifted up an octave, changing the "bass" or lowest note of the chord.
