Review: While I will admit I had some fun playing about with all the instruments in ‘Instrumentalist’ I have to wonder why on earth you might pay so much for this given that there are plenty of other apps that do the same for free! Sure, you get to play about with a Grand piano, Drum, Harp, Xylophone, Koto and a Darbuka but is that worth the full £11.39 asking price? No! Not even close. However…if you plan to learn to play any of those said instruments you might find playing around with this app fun. It’s not an accurate simulation of anything, but someone might get their money’s worth here. But that person wasn’t me and this is not something I personally can recommend.
