## What is Rembetika?

Rembetika is a professional tuner crafted for the traditional instruments of Rebetiko — the soulful urban music of Greek and Anatolian port cities.

Whether you play bouzouki on a taverna stage, a baglamas at home, or an oud in a classical ensemble, Rembetika brings you accurate, cent-level pitch detection with the aesthetic and musical vocabulary these instruments deserve.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• 10 instruments covering the Rebetiko tradition: Bouzouki Trichordo and Tetrachordo, Baglamas, Tzouras, Lavta, Oud (Turkish / Arabic / Armenian tunings), Bağlama (Saz), Cura, Guitar and Violin.
• Real-time pitch detection using FFT — shows exact frequency in Hz and deviation in cents from the target note.
• Adjustable A4 reference between 415 and 465 Hz, with quick presets for 432, 440, 442 and 444 Hz.
• String selection for every instrument — tap the string you're tuning and the target frequency updates instantly.
• Eight languages throughout: English, Turkish, Greek, Spanish, Italian, Persian, Armenian and Arabic.
• Built-in glossary explaining the instruments, music theory (cents, octaves, temperament), makams (Hicaz, Rast, Uşşak, Hüseyni, Nihavent, Kürdi, Saba, Neva), and every app feature.
• Dark-first interface designed for stage, studio and rehearsal lighting.

FREE AND PRO

Free plan includes Bouzouki Trichordo and Baglamas — the heart of classical Rebetiko.
Rembetika Pro unlocks all 10 instruments, chord detection, and all future features. Available as monthly, yearly, or lifetime purchase.

PRIVACY FIRST

All audio is processed locally on your device. Nothing is recorded, stored, or uploaded. The microphone is used only for pitch detection and only while the tuner is active.

FOR WHOM

• Rebetiko musicians, students, and teachers
• Bouzouki, baglamas, tzouras and oud players
• Turkish folk musicians (bağlama, cura)
• Musicians exploring modal music, makam-based ensembles, and traditional Mediterranean repertoire

Rembetika is a labour of love for the music of Piraeus taverns, Smyrneika records, Istanbul meyhane nights, and every port in between. Tune in — and play on.
