"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.
