I take it these regs and drones are available without the obligatory 10+ year wait

Seriously though, nice work, well done

Amazing. This could be useful for people with practice sets who either can't afford or are waiting for drones and regs, and having the drones will help beginners learn how to play the chanter in tune.

Is it possible to get any of the diagonal chords, or do you just have the cross chords?

Since someone was recently talking about a C&F prize, I'd like to nominate Michael for one for everything else he's done to help people learn uilleann pipes and Irish traditional music in general. Over the years I've e-mailed Michael questions about things brought up on the Forum and he has always been very helpful, courteous and quick in his replies. I've purchased two of the things that he's talked about on the Forum -- a Peterson V-SAM tuner and Transcribe software -- and they have helped me a lot in this endeavor. Congratulations and thanks again!

Really great. And I also vote for diagonal (cross) chords if possible.

Well done Michael!

At this time, just the cross chords, there just isn't room to do much more with any accuracy on the small screen. I am thinking about possibly providing an option to allow a choice on the top AC set to switch between playing AC or GC, since I find that more useful for many tunes.

Thanks, I figured that might be the case. So now your job is to design an app that will work on the Amazon Kindle: much bigger screen, closer to the spacing of real regulators

(I know there's no app store for the Kindle, I'm just kidding. But there are also rumors flying about that Apple will be coming out with a tablet-like device with a much bigger screen, similar in size to a Kindle, so if that happens you could do an app for that!)

Awesome!

You are going to make the vPipes jealous.

Fantastic Michael!
Will version 1.1 include a bass reg?

I am so totally blown away. Awesome stuff Michael!

Sounding great. My vote for App of the year.
Once it is up this is something NPU should put in the mag.

Definitely a buy for my Ipod touch.

How about a tuning slider on ver 2.0 so B and D pipers can use it, too?

Whoops. Missed the video about pitch changes.

Even better.

Michael you are more than welcome to quote me for the app discription. I can't wait to put it on my wifes i-touch and take it for a spin. (although I already have a full set it seems like it would be fun either way)
Thanks
