The Hohner Double-Ray C#/D app allows musicians to practice scales and tuneson-the-go. Headphones can be used for private practice, or the audio output ofthe virtual accordion can be amplified by plugging into computer speakers, orother sound enhancing devices.
To help with learning the scales, players may show the note names on the largewhite pearloid buttons.
This app is ideal for the beginning student or professional musician who needsa simple carry-on companion to compliment his or her actual accordion. Whilenot meant to be a replacement for a real accordion, the app is a convenient andeasy tool for practicing, learning, or teaching.

Download all five key combinations: Hohner-B/C, Hohner-C#/D, Hohner-D/G,Hohner-G/C, and Hohner-C/F.
Hardware Limitations:
Please read before purchase of this app if you have a Samsung Galaxy S2 or S3 phone.
Due to the touchscreen hardware capabilities on some Android phones, specifically, but not limited to the Samsung Galaxy S2 and S3, it is not possible to touch two buttons directly next to each other at the same time along a row or between rows and have them both make sound at the same time.
Because the touchscreen hardware does not send us the touch events for adjacent buttons on the phones, this is not something we can fix in the software.
There is no problem on the phones for playing single note melody lines or chords not on directly adjacent buttons.
This limitation is not present for 7" or larger screen tablets.
