Neat Learning Tool

I was just on the internet looking for a good chromatic tuner for my android tablet. In the process, I stumbled across this application . . .

You tell it what key diatonic harp you are playing and it puts up a graphic of the harp with all the notes you can play, including bends. Then, when you play, the note you are playing is highlighted. If you are trying to play a bend, the note lights when you get it correct. I think it will put up overblows as well, but since I am a rank beginner, I didn't bother checking.

I find that even though I can play a scale using the tongue stop, I get lost playing a song. I am not sure what hole I am blowing if I have to jump over one or two. This thing is great. It gives me a visual as I play, and if I get off, at least, I can see where I am and adjust.

I don't think it would be very useful to an experienced player, but for someone like me, it seems like a great help.

NOTE: You can put the overblow notes into it.

After working with it for one day, I can get most of the 1/2 tone, draw bends. I really recommend it if you are a complete newbie like I am.
