Congrats! I've been looking at a way of jumpstarting my piano learning (or re-learning) and this looks like a great way. Would love to hear any other recommendations from HN musicians.

This guy is a badass and solved some huge technical problems in implementing the app. If you're hiring and you need a badass, talk to him!

Congats! I never heard of Etude, but looks really cool. Gonna go get it (if it's still available).

Congrats! Ever since I watched "Note by Note: The Making of Steinway L1037" (http://movies.netflix.com/Movie/Note-by-Note-The-Making-of-S...), I've had the impression that Steinway are a really great innovative tech company whose employees care about their work and their craft - not unlike a great software company, but in a different medium.

The title link points to the wrong place. It should be: http://dangrover.com/2011/09/13/etude-acquired/

(13, not 11.)

Just changed the date back to the wrong date so the original link works.
