Interactive fingering charts with positions for orchestral stringed instruments.

Instruments:
  • Violin
  • Viola
  • Cello
  • Double Bass

Pick a written note (touch the staff) and have the finger placements displayed and concert pitch played on the piano.

Play a concert pitch on the piano, and have the finger placements displayed and that pitch's note written on the staff.

Simply press a button to display each of the 15 positions on the Violin and Viola, 16 positions on the Cello, and either 12 Simandl positions, or the 6 Rabbath positions on the Double Bass.

Display the "beginner tape" on the fingerboard for all the instruments, as well as string names and colors.

View notation in Treble, Alto, Tenor or Bass clef.

Directions

Using the Staff: Simply touch and drag up and down on the staff to select the note, slide right for sharp, left for flat, or slide up and down near either edge for constant sharps or flats.

Using the Piano: Swipe to move the keyboard, tap to play notes, touch & hold then slide to glissando. When you glissando up, notes will be notated in sharps, when you glissando down, notes will be notated in flats. When you tap specific notes they will be notated in the most common accidental for that note. ie: Eb rather than D#, F# rather than Gb.

Hide the piano with a touch of a button to use just the staff notation and have a larger fingering chart.

Use the mute button to look up fingerings without hearing the pitch.

It always plays the concert pitch for any written pitch. (Double Bass sounds an octave lower than written.) Sounds are included from C0 to C9 (outside the range of the Piano).
Middle C is C4.
