Description
The most comprehensive fingering charts for woodwind instruments available.
Immediate access to fingerings (with alternates and trills) for each instrument’s entire playable range. Get fingerings from the written or concert pitch.
Instruments: Piccolo, Concert, Alto and Bass Flutes, Oboe and Cor Anglais, Soprano, Alto, Bass and Contrabass Clarinets, Bassoon and Contrabassoon, Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Baritone Saxophones
The 'Piano' instrument simultaneously displays the note names, the locations on the piano, and the musical notations of up to 5 pitches in either Treble, Alto, Tenor or Bass clef. The Notation can be transposed for most all instrumental transpositions.
• All woodwinds have trill fingerings for minor 2nd and major 2nd intervals.
• Flutes and Saxophones have additional fingerings for minor 3rd and major 3rd trills.
• Alto and Tenor Sax include altissimo fingerings up to written F, two octaves above the top line F of the treble clef.
• All Woodwinds include visual guides to the key names and locations on the instrument to understand the fingering charts better.
• Bassoon and Contrabassoon include Treble, Tenor and Bass clefs.
How to Use:
Pick a written note (touch the staff) and have the fingering displayed and concert pitch played. Touch a button and reveal the note on the piano.
Play a concert pitch on the piano, and have that pitch's fingering displayed. Touch a button and reveal the transposed note written on the staff.
• If there are alternate fingerings available for a note or trill, a button will allow you to navigate through them.
• Use the 'Play Note' or 'Play Trill' button to repeatedly hear what's being displayed.
• Use the mute button to access the fingerings without hearing the pitches.
Selecting a Pitch:
Using the Staff (transposed for the current instrument): Simply touch and slide up and down on the staff to select the note, slide to the right or left of the note for sharps and flats.
Using the Piano (concert pitch): drag in the area below the keyboard to move the keyboard, touch to play notes, touch & slide to change the pitch. When you glissando up the keyboard, notes will be notated as a raised value (sharps), when you glissando down, notes will be notated as lowered values (flats).
Use the up and down arrows to move chromatically up and down without touching the music staff or piano keyboard.

Ratings and Reviews
Detailed
A few points:
1. Amazing range!
I can't comment on the instruments other than the clarinets, but I can tell you the range for the soprano Bb Clarinet is astonishing!!
(Low E - 3 leg. lines to High High High A - 8 leg. lines)
2. Would it be possible to add the ability to change the text font?
3. Another suggestion to further increase the excellent level of interactivity: what about maybe, when playing the trill, having the orange button turn on/off to represent the fingering for each note?
Overall, a great app!
Very useful fingering resource.
Thank you for this well written App. I am happy to have found it and feel that it was worth the money.
One request: Would it be possible to have recordings of the relative instruments playing the notes?
I appreciate that this would be hard to do, but perhaps a compromise would be synthesized instruments??? I think that it would really add to the value of this App to add this feature. (Currently the the notes come out as played on a piano for all instruments. The visuals for each instrument show the keys layout of the instrument in a nicely done way, but the notes are sounded as a piano.)
Another feature I would like to see is the ability to lock in the incidentals for a given Key that I'm playing in. This feature would allow me to set 4 flats, for example, and then I could run up and down the scale in the middle and get the flats where appropriate.
I'm not (merely-- ;-) being lazy! I think that this would really add value. Right now, for example, I am getting used to playing a piece with 4 flats (sorry, but I don't know what key that is, yet). If I could set the Key I could then just slide up and down in the middle to show the flats by default. It's easy to remember and/or see them in the bar. It is harder to see/remember them when I'm playing above the bar on my flute. Incidentally, the reason I chose to get this App is that I needed to learn the second and third register fingerings on my flute. I also would benefit by help in learning to see the notes above the staff.
I am obviously an intermediate player, but I'm guessing that many who buy this App are as well. With these additional features I would gladly pay more for this App. I love what you have created here and would gladly upgrade to your future work if you end up adding these and whatever other features.
Thanks again for this tool. It is very useful for me in my flute playing.
Cheers,
