"Best 99 cents weve ever spent." - Mac|Life
New version 1.8!
Play the worlds smallest violin on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
An indispensable tool - useful for showing sympathy toward anothers misfortune, and more!
Select one of three violin sound types (over 15 total sounds):
- Despair - Display sincere condolence with a weeping melody
- Joy - Celebrate the good times with a light jig
- Lets Rock! - Melt your face off with a highly electric riff
You can play Tiny Violin by sliding the bow with your finger, or by shaking your device (be sure to enable Shake To Play).
Can’t hear sound on a first-generation iPod Touch? Try these steps: Go to (1) settings, then (2) general, then (3) sound effects and then
choose “speaker” or “both” (headphones & speaker).
Note that because the first-generation iPod Touch does not have a built-in speaker, youll need to connect headphones to hear the sounds.

Pros and cons of Tiny Violin app for iPhone and iPad
Tiny Violin app good for
Gets a laugh every time someone is whining. Still need to be able to pick just one default sad song... The saddest one.
Quality humour when you get a good chance to use it. Sure beats rubbing two fingers to get the point across. Id like to see even sadder melodies added as well as the ability to select one or the other. Also I thought the screen could look a little better. Overall its a loonie well spent.
This app has all sad songs, perfect for that whining so and so. I have used this with much success at work, and people know better than to complain to me or they get the violin. I dont know what other reviewers are complaining about with this app, it works as described for me. Just do not buy if you have a 1st gen iPod because you really need a speaker for it to be effective. All others buy today.
Im surprised at the number of people who gave this one star. Especially since, judging by the reviews, they need a Tiny Violin more than anyone else. This app gives exactly what it promises. For the professional music critics, no it doesnt play like a real violin, and no you cant really play it. Its meant to be a joke.
i spent my entire childhood listening to my dad tell me about the worlds smallest violin. now I can finally get him back. the songs need to be sadder. the upbeat happy ones kill the whole point of it.
Ive had more fun and laughs with this app in one hour than I ever did with ifart. Great app if you are surrounded by complainers. I dont even look up anymore. I just start playing.
Some bad moments
Thought it would be more interactive and have more to do. This is more a demo than a purchased app. Wouldnt bother again to pay for this type of app.
This is not worth the 99 cents.... This should be free. All you do is tap the screen and it plays music...DELETE!
Download "Violin" from the app store because at least you can actually play it and its well worth the buck!
Doesnt even sound sad! Just sitar-like! I play violin and this is an insult to ALL violinists.
Doesnt actually play the violin in realtime, jst the same melody.
Its a waste of money, you dont even play of you press it and it plays, it wouldnt be as bad if it was free
This is soo stupid if i could only give it one star i would!!!! Its not even u playing DONT BUY!!!!!!
