Why limit yourself to your small screen on the phone? Run Pipers Metronome, an app by Avoir Technology, best experienced on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, the world’s #1 Android emulator.
About the App
Pipers Metronome is a musician’s helper built specifically for bagpipers. It keeps practice simple, musical, and surprisingly fun, whether you’re shaping a solo set or locking in with a pipe band. Expect a clean, circular visual you can follow at a glance, intuitive controls, and deep tools for expression when you want to get picky about feel. Created by Avoir Technology for the Music & Audio crowd, it’s purpose-built for the way pipers actually play. Prefer a bigger screen while you practice? It works nicely on BlueStacks, too.
