Instruments Quiz4.0

With the Internet at your disposal, you can basically read or learn about pretty much everything you can think of. Take musical instruments, for example. There are literally endless strings of info which can be used in order to gain knowledge like e-books, YouTube videos or full documentaries.We are not saying that this is the most comprehensive way to learn about the history and other important aspects of musical instruments, but if you are looking for a slightly more interactive way to get the job done, then Instruments Quiz might be of great interest for you.

Simple to install and easy to get along with

As its name clearly states, Instruments Quiz is a lightweight utility that allows you to learn a wide variety of basic facts about some of the most popular music instruments out there (apart from actually learning how to play them).Subsequent to a typical installation and upon firing up the app for the first time, you are met by a compact main window. Before anything else, please note that there's quite a big difference between the unregistered and the paid version of this app, including some pretty important interface changes as well.

A few noteworthy differences between the unregistered and the paid versions

The unregistered version basically allows you to learn about three instruments, namely the Piano, Violin, and Harp. If you choose to go for the paid version, you will be provided with a few more options like Guitar, Saxophone, Flute, Trumpet, Clarinet, and Cello.In any case, pick an instrument, and the application first provides you with short descriptions of the particular instrument and with some of the most interesting facts. Once you feel ready, click the "Take the quiz!" button right next to the text and that's that. The quizzes themselves are not exactly challenging, sporting questions with two, three or multiple alternatives, with only one correct answer.

Not exactly outstanding in any particular way but definitely more interactive than reading

Taking everything into account, Instruments Quiz is a useful app that works as advertised, although, we would not go as far as calling it comprehensive. The app is actually mediocre at best, with a slightly outdated and non-impressive interface, generic graphics and no actual samples or legit music content.
