Great app to practise
I was using the older version to locate the key names. But with these new updates it became a a great practice tool when my bandoneon is not around. Great sound of the keys and enough space to place my fingers on the buttons. Totally loved it.
Sound problem
Contrary to the authors opinion that the sound works if the users settings are correct, the only way I can hear the sounds is with an earphone (sound change with buttons on in settings iOS9)
Can I get a refund ?

Hi, we have redesigned this app and released a new version. We hope the sound problems will not exist. Added more new features to help you to learn the user interface and some basic principles of bandoneon playing skills. Hope to update your review. Thanks.
A really cute, unique app
For those of us interested in Tango or Nuevo Tango music, who love the bandoneon and would like to learn a bit more about this strange and beautiful sounding instrument without shelling out thousands to buy an actual one, this app is very informative. The sound is pretty good, even though it is obviously digitized.
Seeing how illogical the keyboards are makes me appreciate the master players of this instrument even more. That’s the beauty of this app. You have to learn 4 different keyboards. The left and right hand are both different, and the bellows in or out makes each keyboard change too. This app lets you simulate all of this. You can’t do dynamics or special effects though.
On top of the 4 keyboards is the fact that each keyboard doesn’t lay logically like virtually every other musical instrument on the planet. For instance, on a piano keyboard, you go from low to high, left to right, and all the notes of the scale are basically in a line. On the bandoneon, the notes of the scale jump left, right, up down, zig and zag in seemingly random positions. Wow.

I got this for iPhone and it works well. However the version for iPad won't play sound!

Excellent for educational purposes!
I'm using this app with my students. Good job, Burak!
