What do I need to practice with tonestro?

You need your own instrument, a compatible phone or tablet and an internet connection: tonestro listens through the built-in microphone, with no cable to your instrument.

  • A real instrument. For piano, a piano, a digital piano or a keyboard works: tonestro listens through your device's microphone, without a MIDI connection.
  • An iPhone or iPad with iOS 15 or newer, or an Android phone with Android 8 or newer and at least 4 GB of memory (RAM). Piano and guitar run on iPhone and iPad.
  • No offline mode: tonestro needs a stable internet connection.
  • Headphones when you play along with backing music. Wired ones work best.
  • Not supported: digital wind instruments (EWI), MIDI, audio interfaces, external microphones and practice mutes that silence your instrument.

Still choosing a piano? Keyboard, digital piano or acoustic piano: what fits a beginner.
