↔️ Slide Coach
Every note gets a direction and a distance: push out, pull in, or hold. A zoomed ruler shows where your slide is against the target.
🎺 Knows the trombone
Alternate positions (tap to switch — it remembers), the flat 5th partial, and what to do when you're flat in 1st and can't pull in any further.
🔀 F attachment
Trigger positions on an F-attachment horn: C3 in T1, E2 in T2 — with the distances for the longer F side.
🎚️ Main-slide Tune-Up
Play B♭3 or F3 in 1st and hold it. Get “pull the main tuning slide out ≈ 6 mm” — and the F-attachment slide too.
〰️ Long tones
A live pitch trace, the share of the note within ±5 ¢, your drift, and a personal best for every note.
🎵 Drone & just intonation
Play against a drone (with headphones, the tuner keeps listening). In chords, aim 3rds about 14 ¢ low and 5ths 2 ¢ high.
How far is 10 cents?
Further out the slide, a semitone takes more tube — so the same pitch error needs a bigger move. On a typical B♭ tenor:
| Position | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 ¢ ≈ | 8 mm | 8 mm | 9 mm | 9 mm | 10 mm | 11 mm | 11 mm |
Instruments differ slightly, so the app shows distances as approximate. The direction is what matters most — the distance gets you close.
