Available in mid-October, “Irish Flute” for the iPad:

Will be priced at $0.99 for the first week or two after release.
I’ll post a message to this thread when it hits the iTunes app store, most likely around Oct 10.
Cheers,
Michael
well ya’ve gone too far this time Michael,
yer goin’ ta hell fer sure.
I’ll save ya a seat. 
I wonder how soon it will be before someone carries one of Michael’s ipad instruments into an Irish session? I hear the moderator now saying, “No, son, you can’t play your ipad. Sorry”
Would buy this if I had an iPad. 
From the title, I first thought you were looking for a trade…
could we add to the FAQ section…
Q: Why? 
Maybe he earns something from it…
I wanna see a whole iPad session.
In the meantime, there are two things that I would like folks to keep me posted on:
Oh, one more thing, did it not cross your mind to sell a collector’s edition at some crazy price like $9,999.99, so that those collectors of Irish Flutes would have something to buy and brag about?
Congratulations.
If you want controversy, just go over to thesession.org and ask if anyone can give you the sheet music for some celtic songs on recorder…
MarkP, great idea. Thanks for the suggestion.
I don’t have an Ipad yet, but…
I’d like to have a different position for the flute pieces!
it would be a far better improvement to have the score ecc in the middle
and the left piece on the top left, while the right piece in the bottom (as it is now)
IMHO the result would be that you have a more similar position to a real flute…
Needs a gas bar (breath left) and a “take breath” button.
If you want to get fancy, add a star power mode, activated by tipping the iPad into an awkward position.
Hmmm, Casey. Can we match that?

I just can’t bring myself to let those controlling so and so’s at Apple have any of my money. Plus I absolutely hate my iMac. You’ll need to put the app out in Android format like tunepal.
You’re the man. 
The orientation of the instrument is designed for best ergonomics when playing with the iPad in the lap. It has proven to be very effective on both my Uilleann, and Scottish bagpipes apps for the iPad. It takes a few minutes to get used to at first, but very quickly the brain adjusts and you simply play tunes on the iPad like you would on the real instrument and the fact that its on a touch screen disappears.
Translating a flute-like instrument to a touch screen designed to played in the lap requires that the left hand be rotated 180 degrees, but the relative positions of the holes and their relationship to the scale doesn’t change in the app. What I tell people to do is just forget that you’re playing on an iPad and just play it like you would the flute. I’ve seen it happen many times, after a few minutes of adjustment there is an “aha!” moment, and then the tunes start flowing.
So, you’d rather have Google control your life than Apple?
Possibly in the future when there is a large number of Android tablets that can handle a minimum of 8 simultaneous touches required to do the fingering emulation. I don’t believe that is the case today.

So, you’d rather have Google control your life than Apple?
I do, Google is free, and you don’t require other pricey Google stuff to use it.
Google the evil empire of choice!
free lunch fer all!!!
Google is free? Google your life and I would expect knows more about us than the NSA…
Still, until there is widespread availability of Android based tablets that support 8+ touch multitouch, I can’t port my iPad apps to that platform.
Google knows about us (and it is really irritating), but doesn’t our life. This is what Apple is trying though…
