"Irish Flute" app for the iPad


YouTube via tradlessons | October 02, 2010

"Irish Flute is the only truly authentic sounding wooden Irish flute available for the iPad.

The fingerings are based on those used for the real instrument and will also be immediately familiar to Irish pennywhistle and flute players.

Sound is based on high quality per-note recordings from my wooden 1857 Metzler flute, the same flute used for the images in the app.

To play, place your fingers over the holes on the two halves of the flute. The holes light up when covered

Finger vibrato may be done with the middle finger of the right hand on most notes. The amount of vibrato is adjustable.

Touch the 'i' icon at the upper left corner of the main screen to show/hide the volume and vibrato controls. All settings are saved and restored the next time the app is run.

Touch the '?' icon at the upper right corner of the main screen to show/hide the fingering chart. The app provides two octaves of the D scale, plus C and F natural.

Touch the green bar on the left side with your left little finger to play the notes one octave higher.

Touch the bar at the bottom center with your left thumb to stop the sound.

Rotate the iPad to Portrait orientation to see the instruction page. Rotate back to Landscape orientation to play.

Play along with tunes in your iPad's music library by starting a track using the iPad iPod app, then launching Irish Flute. Adjust the volume using the real-time performance controls."

  1. Hi, Will this app run on an iPhone or is the screen too small to use it?
