if you pressed every key on the keyboard C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B C and so on all the way up the piano what would you have as far as a chord?

You would probably just call it a chromatic cluster. Using chord notation does not make a lot of sense here. The root note is pretty arbitrary, the notation for the additional notes open to all sorts of enharmonic respelling. Normally harmonic context resolves such ambiguities, but I find it hard to imagine a sensible one for your all-keys chord. That said, you can of course concoct something like A6/7/♭9/♯11/♭13/add2/add4/add♭10/add14. Since chord symbols do not encode information on the octave(s) where individual tones are to be played, this is only descriptive of your cluster, not prescriptive. |

ah ok well i was messing around with chords and i kept adding notes and ended up with some rather ridiculous ones. one was broken because it was a minor 9th chord with a (add b9) an (add b5) which break the rules of that chord already so there was no point in continuing with it so i was curious since i never came across a question like that in music before
