Traditional Musical Instrument Apps

by Michael Eskin

Enabling Accordion, Concertina, and Bagpipes Players
to Learn and Practice Anywhere.

I'm an Irish session musician and virtual instrument app developer. I play the acoustic versions of all these instruments in real life.

My goal with the apps is to give you as realistic an experience of playing these instruments as I am able to on a touch screen for a tiny fraction of the cost of buying a real instrument.

I truly hope you will enjoy them!

To get started, please pick the instrument you'd like to play:

Here's a recent review of my Uilleann Classic app by Dion:

This has to be the best app I have ever owned! I play it daily and when I'm away I miss it!

Beautiful sampled sounds of the Uilleann Irish Pipes, which invoke some savoured, long lost dream into reality with such poignancy. Think Braveheart and Riverdance with a richness all its own.

This app plays the heart strings of my soul and I can't praise it enough. It's genius!

The app allows you to make delicate inflections within the tune being played, such is the versatility within the programming and moreover, is in keeping with and has an affinity to the Uilleann Pipes themselves, allowing for great individual interpretation of personal style and technique, recognised within all Irish Music. This app gives the player scope for individuality.

The sounds are lush and diverse, plug-in your headphones and you're in a Cathedral. Your "air" taking flight into the lofty eaves. Or transport to a village hall for a "jig" and a "reel"!

I have to say, I have spent countless hours playing this brilliant app and not one of them wasted!

Thank you,

Dion
