Read full descriptionHide full description
Harmonica Studio brings complete songs, a live harmonica-aware tuner, hear-first bend training, and on-device tab practice into one honest app. COMPLETE SONGBOOK Play full, duration-preserving melodies arranged for a real 10-hole Richter harmonica. Three complete songs and the tuner are free. Pro opens 95 more complete songs. HEAR-FIRST BEND TRAINER Hear the target note before you try it. Work through four levels with confidence-gated pitch feedback across all 12 harp keys. THE 2-DRAW CLINIC Train the beginner wall directly: open 2-draw, half-step bend, and whole-step bend, with technique cues and low-hole-aware feedback. LIVE TUNER & HARP MAP See the exact blow, draw, bend, or overbend you are playing, plus the complete 10-hole layout for all 12 keys and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd position. JAM MODE Use 392 chord-only accompaniment charts with a recommended harp key. Improvisation grading stays off instead of pretending a chart contains a melody. FIRST WEEK Follow seven short sessions that end with one complete recognizable song. IMPORT YOUR OWN TAB Paste harmonica tab you have the right to use, save it on your device, and practise it note by note with live pitch feedback.

Harmonica Studio's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
