Tingalin - (Çiftelija) apk Description
"The Tingalin iPhone app simulates this two-stringed instrument with absolute fidelity, going as far as to recreate the wrist-based strumming technique of the ancient Çifteli masters."

Tingalin is a music instrument application based on the Albanian lute Çifteli (meaning "pair of strings"). This unique app is educational, easy to use and best of all it is lot of fun! Sample melodies are included to get you started!
Tingalin is played by tapping the 14 frets on the instruments handle. Each note is recorded in the tab and the entire melody is played by shaking the device, as if strumming the real instrument. Each strum up and down (meaning shake of the phone) a note is played. Tempo is controlled by the frequency of your strumming!
You also have the ability to play automatically with the push of a button.
You can chose from multiple instrument voicings. Each voicing can be tuned to the preferred pitch using the slider control +/- 1 octave.
The Çifteli is a wooden instrument with a long thin handle and a pear-shaped sound bowl. This two string lute looks similar to Setar, Saz and Tambura; however, its sound is unique. The first string is used to play the notes while the seconds strings acts as a backup harmonic tune.
Android Early Release: This version is fully capable of playing custom melodies as well as the included 21 melodies. The ability to save your own custom melodies will come in a future update.
