?For those of you toting smart phones here are a couple of FREE apps you might enjoy, (besides Angry Birds). The first one is a fully functional tuner with a digital display. It is free with the basic functions but with the upgraded paid version it can be set to various temperaments along with other added features. Look for "DaTuner" in your app browser. The second one is another tuner called gStrings. It is very basic but has the advantage of producing audible reference pitches. It is free but there is a paid version with more features. Search for "gStrings" in your app browser. The next one has no real purpose other than being kind of fun. It is a fully functional polyphonic piano which you can not only play but record on and download as a midi file. I don't know why anyone would want to do this but it will do so. After an hour or so of practice you'll start getting used to the 3/8" wide keys on the sliding keyboard. It also has a few other sounds to choose from besides piano. It is free. In your app browser search for "xPiano". Another one is call Gas Buddy which is a good app for anyone. Either by zip code or using your phone's GPS, (if equipped), it will tell you where to find the cheapest gas in your area. In your app browser look for "GasBuddy". If anyone else is aware of other helpful apps for piano techs, free or otherwise, please share!
