Charango: Tuner, Chords, Learn

Ten strings in five pairs, and ten pegs that all look alike: the hard part of tuning a charango is knowing which peg to turn. Charango shows you the headstock, marks the peg for the string you are tuning, and tells you exactly how far off it is. Then it hands you the instrument. In Simulation the charango is on your screen: strum across the strings, or touch one to pluck it. • Tuner: all ten strings, peg by peg, with a live needle that never flashes "in tune" early • Nine tunings: temple natural, temple diablo, the transposed temples, and the ronroco and walaycho sizes • Simulation: a charango you can play, pluck a string or strum all ten • Chords: 168 chords (12 roots, 14 types), up to three fingerings each, drawn for the charango's five courses • Learn: four charango courses (33 lessons) plus ten practice drills: ear training, melodic dictation, fretboard, intervals, chord changes, timing, rhythm, scales, sight reading and strumming • Tools: metronome, drone, scales, chord and scale, circle of fifths, capo and transpose, practice recorder, overtones and String Health • 12 colour palettes, light and dark themes, left-handed mode Everything is included: no subscription, no account and nothing to buy inside the app. It all works offline, and Charango collects no data: see the App Privacy section on this page.
