Ratings and reviews

I paid the $2 for the pro version, and all I can see that got me was the ability to tune it. Should be clearer when selling upgrade. The instrument is fine, but there's a lot of sympathetic frequency muddying at times. A volume control, along with (at least ) some Bass/ Treble control or EQ would also be good. The pretuned tunings may work if you know Korean music, but if you don't, they're hard to make anything musical with all the flat notes. Basic inst.is a 5. Pro makes it a 3.

Thanks for this app. The sound is good and the playability is good. I like the ability to change volume on the screen as you play. If you want to improve it more, you could retrigger each note with an up and down wiggle of the finger and a pitch bend with a sideways glide left and right.

This is the first time I've actually heard of this instrument, although I have heard it in the past but never knew what it was called. I installed it and had a little play around for 5 minutes and decided to purchase the pro version, at £1.69 I couldn't not really, and it does make all the difference being able to change the pitch, I just wish that you could change the pitch on the fly instead of having to stop and go into the settings. It's such a beautiful sounding instrument.
