How to Use:
  Pick a written note (touch the staff) and have the fingering displayed and concert pitch played on the piano. 
  Play a concert pitch on the piano, and have that pitch's fingering displayed and the transposed note written on the staff. 

• If there are alternate fingerings available for a note, a button will allow you to navigate through them.
• Use the 'Play Note' 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.

### 1/5 — Don't buy

*2012-02-23*

The piano noise is inaccurate.the bass notes are too low and the piano is distracting from what it really sounds like!!!!!at least add the noise of the instrument you selected to have it be accurate!!!please change it!

**Developer response:** Not sure what you mean by piano being inaccurate. The pitches are correct for what is being displayed.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2012-01-31*

It seems most things are there and the app does as it says, however there are still some alternate positions missing that some may find useful, hopefully they will follow on an update

### 3/5 — Fingering Brass - disappointing

*2011-01-09*

This is a great start - but it is clearly not ready with a major bug.  The sound works for a short period of time and then stops working.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled it 3 times and the sound works at first and then no sound.  There is no support or information to troubleshoot or to report the issue.  I think the concept is great and if they can work out the sound bug, it would be a great application.
