 |
BUENA PARK, Calif. — Yamaha Corporation of America, Wireless Content Department, today announced the launch of the Yamaha Musician's Companion, the ultimate portable tool for musicians. Available on wireless phones through various carriers, the Musician's Companion consists of a guitar chord library, metronome and pitch pipe. Rather than lug around these additional pieces of equipment, musicians can now access the tools on their mobile phone.
"The Musician's Companion is not only a unique, fun, wireless entertainment product, but also a useful tool for the hundreds of millions of musicians and hobbyists around the world," says Ben Baker, Director of Business Development for Yamaha's Wireless Content Department.
An essential tool for any guitar player, the chord reference includes over 1,100 chord fingerings and actually plays each note. The fully functional metronome keeps the beat for any musician, from pianist to saxophonist, and includes a beat finder that enables a user to determine the tempo of a song. Finally, the pitch pipe allows a musician to tune their instrument or voice to reference a standard pitch. At a price of $9.99 in the U.S. and one free trial use, the Musician's Companion offers convenience and value.
Consumers can download the Musician's Companion to their mobile phone by entering www.yamaha-wireless.com in their phone's web browser. Further product details can be found online at www.yamaha-wireless.com. Yamaha collaborated with ZWorkbench, a software developer focused on mobile utility applications, to create the Musician's Companion.
