Braw Tunes
The app you open every time you practise your pipes
Braw Tunes is where you keep your music: the tunes you play, your sets, your practice history. And it stays yours, on any phone.
Free, for everyone in your band.
New in version 2: your Pipe Major shares the set. One tap, and it’s in your app. Got your music as PDFs? Add them. Photos of a page and recordings too.
Your Pipe Major shares the set
One tap, and it’s in your app.
Sharing tunes used to mean emailing files around and hoping everyone could open them. Now you send a link or a short code, and whoever you send it to taps it and the set appears in their app.
Send your band the set once; everyone gets it, free, on whatever phone they’ve got. Build an address book of contacts and groups. Shares are live, you control who has access, and you can revoke a share at any time.
Free, for everyone in your band
Braw Tunes is free, on iPhone and Android. Everyone in your band can use it with a Piper’s Account.
No account is needed to try it: open the app, search, play, and your music appears. You’re asked for one when you save, share or import.
Pro, a paid yearly subscription, is space as your library grows.
Your library
Your tunes, your sets, your collections, organised the way you play them. Import BWW and MusicXML files, or start from the 7,000 bagpipe tunes that come with the app, with the full music for the public-domain ones.
Saved to your Piper’s Account, so it comes back if you reinstall, and it syncs between your devices.
Got your music as PDFs? Add them.
Photos of a page and recordings too. Attach them to a tune, a set or a collection.
Your music doesn’t have to be a BWW file.
Play, and your sheet music appears
Braw Tunes listens, works out which tune you’re playing, and shows the music, then the opening bars of the next tune in your set.
Remember a tune but not its name? Play it, and Braw Tunes will tell you.
Keeps you at it
Every practice session is tracked automatically: your history, stats on what you play, and a weekly streak.
It’s a satisfying way to see your time add up and your repertoire grow.
Description
Braw Tunes is free, on iPhone and Android, and the free level is sized so a band or a tutor can put their sets on it and every member has them. Pro, a paid yearly subscription, is space as your library grows.
Try a shared set. Once you have the app, tap this link on your phone: brawsound.com/share/bt/ej65vsxj. Braw Tunes opens and asks you to import it, and you’ll find “Example 6/8 Marches” under Sets on the Tunes tab. You’ll be asked to create a Piper’s Account first if you don’t have one; it takes a minute.
I’m Bruce. I’ve made the Braw apps for pipers for ten years: the Braw Bagpipe Tuner, Piper’s Metronome, and Braw Tunes. If you’ve used Piper’s Metronome, your Piper’s Account already works here. Questions, problems, ideas: bruce@brawsound.com. It comes straight to me, and I read every one.
