The Bagpipe Tuner App allows precision tuning of Highland bagpipes. Simply sound a note and start tuning. It's easy and accurate. Bagpipe Tuner App for Highland Bagpipes accurately detects your pipe chanter notes, drones and displays the note, frequency and pitch position. Detection is via the inbuilt microphone, or in noisy environments an external microphone like the HBT clip mic can be attached. Bagpipe Tuner features both digital and analog style meters, waveform input monitor and auto gain limiter. Simply press the Learn button and start tuning, or turn horizontal to access a larger meter display. Using a Bagpipe Tuner can really make tuning less stressful, listening more pleasant and playing more enjoyable. You can quickly check your pipes at anytime to maintain good tone– before a gig, practising or competition. And, non-pipers can easily use it to help out with tuning. Why a Bagpipe Tuner? Highland bagpipes are incredibly hard to tune and unlike standard chromatic instruments, the intervals between each note continue to vary. Bagpipe Tuner correctly displays the scale and takes the guesswork out of using a chromatic tuner. Bagpipe Tuner compliments the standalone BLAIR tuners and Bluetooth clip. Features: • Auto detection and display of notes and drones • Analog style meter • Large horizontal display • Frequency display meter • Input waveform meter • Frequency position bar • Learn function for calibration setting • Auto input limiter • Internal microphone • External microphone support (HBT clip mic) • Large frequency detection range • Special Bluetooth mic/ sensor for Bagpipes supported

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Dojo University at Free against Bagpipe Tuner's $11.99. Dojo University also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). Bagpipe Tuner's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.6). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
