iTopchiyev’s FingersTune is a musical instrument very simple in use. It’s inspired by such interesting applications like Smule’s Ocarina, Leaf Trombone, iTopchiyev’s Ocarina Pitcher, Apple’s iTunes and many other nice products.

Why we created FingersTune

From childhood I dreamed to learn how to play piano, guitar or something else. I think this is fine to have a handheld instrument and be able to play it.
Imagine your friend’s birthday. When he cuts his birthday cake, you get your iPhone and start to perform the melody “Happy Birth Day to You”. Wouldn’t it be beautiful?
” – Pasha L. Topchiyev – Founder

We saw a few musical applications implemented on the iPhone. We liked the iPhone as a target device. But most musical applications proved to be inconvenient to use, although they had some good ideas. In the end, we decided to create our own application. During our work we found a lot of new ideas and implemented most of them. But new ideas are still being collected, deliberated and being implemented in new updates.
