I got my Samsung Gallaxy Tab 3 last year for just €100, as a deal for extending my energy contract (they hoped for to use their app on it, which I still have to install, haha!) I could get the 7 inch version for free but intentionally upgraded to the 10 inch version with the sheet music reading in the back of my mind... It was until last weekend I started to implement my ideas, I had the free version of Mobilesheets on my Tab for a while, but the limitations made me not actively using it, I also did not have a scanner yet.. It was the request of my band leader to scan all our music that made me trigger to make the tab sheet music reading a reality, so I bought Mobilesheets full version, a cheap All in one printer for scanning and started scanning and playing with the app all weekend..
The Samsung Tab 3 is a good tablet for music reading, and I found out it has Bluetooth 4.0, so it works with the new and much cheaper AirTurn PED pedals!! Which I bought instantly online (€69).. I have just started to use the tablet, and practiced with it all weekend, including some playing from it.. I found the size is just right for me.. some pieces I need to read in landscape otherwise they are not readable (pieces that are printed in landscape!). Battery lasts for more then 4 hours, plenty of time for a regular practice night or normal concert and no more searching and browsing for sheets of music.. finding a piece is so easy with Mobilesheets! and with 32Gb SD card in it, enough space for all music i will play the rest of my life!
Love it!
