United StatesTune your chanter and drones on your pipes. Free and fully functional, with the in-application option to purchase an unlock for advanced features. Braw Bagpipe Tuner has been written specifically for the tonal and tuning requirements of the Bagpipes, and uses highly advanced pitch detection algorithms which have been further customized for the pipes. Thanks to our new QuantumNote technology, the Braw Bagpipe Tuner revolutionizes tuning with it's ability to quickly and accurately analyse the tuning of all notes on your chanter while you are playing a tune. This is far superior to all other tuning methods, which rely on holding a single note, as even the best players will adjust their blowing slightly when holding a single note. Our QuantumNote technology allows you to analyse the tuning when it matters the most - when you are playing! Using QuantumNote, the app is aware of bagpipe ornamentation, and even uses this knowledge to help build an accurate tuning result. * Tune chanter while playing - great for going round the members of a band and checking the tuning without stopping the practice! * More accurate tuning - get the tuning as it actually sounds when playing * Easy drone tuning - keeps separate results for Bass and Tenor drones The tuner is responsive, accurate and precise. It it also written to be efficient, so you don't need and expensive phone or tablet to be able to run it. The efficiency also means it has relatively low battery consumption. The tuner lets you tune your chanter and drones based on a reference Low A calibrated to your chanter. The tuner automatically detects which chanter note or drone note you are playing, based on what is the loudest/closest to your devices microphone. The gauge will then indicate how sharp or flat your chanter note or drones are, allowing you to tune them to achieve sweet sounding pipes. To suit your preference, different chanter tuning schemes can be chosen. An optional high contrast theme can be set for outdoor use. We genuinely welcome feedback, and in particular if you have any problems please don't hesitate to get in touch, either through the app, or via our website. Braw Bagpipe Tuner was previously know as Accord Bagpipe Tuner.
Braw tuner
Our band has been using the premium app for a year now. We are quite happy with it compared to other we have used! To have a piper play up the scale and then stop, and then be able to see the recorded notes is a big plus!
United StatesWaste of $30
I actually paid $30 for this garbage. It is impossible to get it to work correctly to actually tune your chanter. Stick with the FREE bagpiper tuner App. Much easier to use.
United Statesdon’t waste your time
$30?? only a fool would spend $30 just to see if the app was any good. I guess this is more of a sucker finder than a bagpipe tuner
United StatesCan’t get premium to work
I purchased the premium upgrade and have never got it to work properly...I am so frustrated. I have contacted the site...no one has returned my messages. Wish I could use the app.
United StatesGreat product, worth every cent
Unless you really enjoy spending a lot of time tuning your pipe, the premium version of this app ($30) is for you. It repeatedly samples all of the notes as you play (single notes also possible) and then ‘fader bars’ which indicate a rolling average of the pitch hold the last minimum or maximum average for each note simultaneously, allowing you to study the visual display and determine how to adjust each out of tune note at a single glance. It’s still an iterative process, but easily 10 times faster and ultimately more precise than other tuning methods I’ve used. And - the scale can be tempered, with the great highland pipe scale the default, but others available. No more trying to guess from a more primitive tuner if low and high Gs are appropriately flat relative to concert pitch; when the Braw tuner indicates that Gs are in tune, the tempering has already taken that into account. I think it’s one of the most effective piping accessories I’ve ever bought, and that $30 for the full app is a bargain in light of the time saved, frustration averted and excellent tuning results achieved. Highly recommended.
United StatesRead the Description carefully about free and “fully functional with in app purchase”
Read the Description carefully about free and “fully functional with in app purchase”. There is no real deception here in the description if you read the description. It states “Free” and fully functional with in app purchased. So basically the free is a trail version and will be fully functional once you give up $30. In the free version, when you look at the notes half of them are “X” out and don’t appear to be functional. It might be good for the $30, I’m not taking the chance and paying $30 for this app.
United StatesFunctionality at a price
Seems to be quite advanced with an averaged readout of tuning, however, to do something as basic as set reference A to 440, it asks for a $30 upgrade fee. Back to normal tuners for me, I think.

* Fixed an issue where the screen could get stuck on drone mode * Fixed an issue where the average values were not displayed immediately after rotating the device * Updated the help to add more information * Updated the Just and Seamus MacNeil tuning schemes to adjust the Low G slightly (Thanks to George Hannah for help with this)
