Handpan & Kalimba: Tongue Drum

Play a realistic handpan, steel tongue drum, 17-key kalimba and marimba on your phone. Every note is synthesized the moment you touch, with long natural overtones that fade out on their own.

Handpan
- A raised ding in the center and 8 to 9 tone fields in the zig-zag order of a real instrument.
- Scales: Kurd, Celtic Minor, Hijaz, Pygmy, Aegean, Major and Pentatonic, in any key from C to B.
- Tap the edge of a tone field for a muted slap.

Steel tongue drum
- 11 tongues with a soft mallet tone, using the same scales and keys.
- Small, medium and large sizes, an octave apart.

Kalimba
- 17 steel tines on a walnut board, the lowest in the middle like the real instrument.
- Number tabs (1 to 7 with octave dots), letter names or do-re-mi labels.
- C major, G major and A minor tunings. Slide a finger across the tines to strum.

Marimba
- 2.5 octaves of rosewood bars over resonator tubes. Glide across the bars.
- Soft, medium or hard mallets.

Play and record
- Multi-touch with up to ten fingers. Each note rings until it fades out naturally.
- Sustain length, room or hall reverb, and note names on or off.
- Record what you play as a loop of up to 60 seconds, keep three loops and play along with them. Only the notes are stored, never sound from the microphone.

Details
- Works offline. No microphone, contacts, photos or location access, and no account.
- Volume limit with a loud-sound warning, performance mode for older phones, dark mode and large text support.
- Sound stops when you leave the app.

All instruments and scales are included. Instrument names are generic descriptions, not brands.
