Englitina - English Concertina

       iOS iPhone

Englitina is an easy to play, authentic-sounding virtual English Concertina.

Be sure to check out the cool demo videos on my website!

You may select either standard Treble or Baritone (one octave lower) range.

Touch the "?" icon to show all the button notes.

The button layout and spacing matches the center portion of a standard Wheatstone Engish Concertina layout, providing all chromatic notes in the two octave range between D4 and C#6 (one octave lower when set to Baritone).

When Charles Wheatsone designed the English concertina, he set it up to match sheet music, one side is the notes between the lines and the other is the notes on the lines.

Because English Concertinas play the same note both on a push or a pull of the bellows, it is a very easy instrument to play on the iPhone or iPod Touch. You simply touch the buttons on the screen to play the notes.

To play, hold the iPhone or iPod Touch between your thumb and little fingers of both hands, exactly like a real English Concertina, and press the buttons with your index and middle fingers. Scale patterns alternate between the fingers of the right and left hands. Notes are higher in pitch as you move from the outside to the middle of the screen.

Multiple buttons may be pressed at the same time to play chords.

You may play along with the tunes on your iPhone or iPod Touch, just start the music before running Englitina. Using Apple's Settings app, you may configure your device to bring up the iPod music controls by double clicking the home button to change tracks within an album.

Uses extremely high-quality per-button 44 Khz 16-bit audio samples recorded from my personal concertina collection. Graphics on "Classic" skin based on a 1924 Lachenal Edeophone 12-sided instrument.
