Love this app

I’m new to the bandoneón, just bought my first one as they are a big investment. This app is amazing for learning, from chords to scales and single notes, I’m well on my way to learning the instrument thanks to this app.

Best app for bandoneón players

I only wish I can hear the sound when trying the scales too! Can we have an update perhaps? The app is FANTASTIC for beginners. Thanks!
