LIVE TUNER β€” see the precise hole and bend you are sounding, with a cents-accurate needle and in-tune feedback, in any of the 12 keys. HARP MAP β€” a visual map of your whole harmonica: every blow, draw, bend and overblow note, for all 12 keys and 1st, 2nd and 3rd position. SONG LIBRARY β€” learn traditional, public-domain songs in clean harmonica tab, from beginner melodies to bend-heavy classics. PRACTICE DRILLS β€” train your draw bends and overblows with live cents scoring and a streak counter. POSITIONS MADE SIMPLE β€” instantly see the key and mode you will play in, whether straight harp (1st), cross harp (2nd) for blues, or slant (3rd). Audio is analyzed in real time on your device and is never recorded or sent anywhere. Free includes the live tuner, the full harp map, and a set of beginner songs. Harmonica Studio Pro unlocks the complete songbook, every practice drill, and advanced tuner analysis.
