Brass instrumentSS IA is designed to allow you to easily play the trumpet with a single finger. Unlike the actual a brass instrument , you don't need to have a large lung capacity, but you will be able to play it just by touching the inner side of the white dotted line. With Brass instrumentSS IA, you can start playing the trumpet right away and enjoy its sound whenever you want, wherever you are!

Added a volume slider at the bottom center of the screen in order to fix the problem that fade out doesn't work while you can play staccato notes with the stop button. When you fade the audio out, please make sure to tap the stop button.

Added the recording function!
It picks the surrounding sounds as well, and you can use it in many different ways such as recording your vocals or creating a voice memo. You can also send the recorded data via email. Note that the maximum attachment size of an email depends on the iOS device you are using. Please contact your cell phone service provider for further information. * A 10 seconds recording is around 450 kB.

* Support iTunes file sharing(http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4094?viewlocale=en_US)

Added the play with other music app button on the right side of the record button (however, this disables the recording). For example, you can play along with your favorite songs on Music app.

Now you can select the audio file format when recording. If you want to send a file via email, record at "22kHz / 8 bit" to reduce the file size.

### 1/5 — Payments

*2025-12-13*

You have to pay to play the interments in this and both of the wood and percussion I can’t rate this zero so it’s a one

### 1/5 — Money

*2025-09-03*

### 1/5 — I hope it goes down to one star

*2021-12-13*

I hate that I have to pay $3.00 just  to play an instrument

### 1/5 — Greedy

*2019-11-14*

You guys want so much money

### 1/5 — Unfortunate

*2017-02-01*

Why do I have to pay?? The app would be amazing if you could use all of the instruments. Waste of time.

### 4/5 — Good BUT...

*2016-04-01*

The game is good but the only hitch is that you have to pay for all of the instruments.

### 1/5 — Skip it

*2016-01-18*

Volume slider inop. Every note "pops" (bad audio).

### 1/5 — BrassIA = CrappolIA

*2015-10-19*

please do NOT waste your time or $$$

### 1/5 — Only one instrument - you pay for all the rest.

*2015-02-16*

Nice start, but it's not ready. Layout is great and instrument sound is pretty good, but there's no fade and no sound modulation (apart from straight volume), so when you stop a note (which sustains until you stop it), it stops dead, sounding awful.

Each new instrument is $3.79 and with 18 of them, that's not worth it. There's no offer of a bundle either.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2014-09-20*

Pretty fun
