Along with the traditional Irish tune demonstration videos, I’ve developed a series of high quality traditional Irish music focused virtual instrument apps for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch.
The apps are all available on the iTunes App Store for very reasonable prices, most under $5.00.
These include Anglo, English, and duet concertinas, Button and Piano accordions, Scottish bagpipes, Uilleann pipes chanters, drones and regulators, wireless MIDI controllers, and full sets of Uilleann pipes implemented as English concertinas and standard piano keyboards.
