An app for practicing intonation that is bound to come in handy for players of fretless stringed instruments, wind players, and especially vocalists!

How do you normally practice intonation?

If you take private lessons, your instructor will use the piano to show when youre off pitch, but its difficult to do this when practicing on your own.

I didnt start playing the contrabass until I was an adult, and since its my first fretless bowed string instrument, I have a hard time practicing intonation.
Up until now I have used a piano app to record phrases, then played along with those when I practiced.
But recording takes a lot of extra time and effort.
Every time I wanted to practice a semitone higher I had to carefully put my contrabass down and re-record the phrase in the piano app. The contrabass is quite a large instrument, making it a real hassle to repeatedly set down.
Since I hold the bow with my right hand, I looked around for an app that I could use easily with just the left hand.
I tried other DTM apps, but they didnt support 442Hz tuning or they had so many functions that they were far too excessive for just inputting simple melodies.

That is why we decided to create this application.

Our app is so simple that even without a user manual you can get the hang of it right away.

We hope you will use our app in your daily practice routine.
