## What is Fingering Brass?

Immediate access to fingerings (with alternates) for each instrument’s entire playable range. Get fingerings from the written or concert pitch.

Support for Key Signatures to more easily find a fingering in the music you're working on. 

 Instruments: F/Bb Double French Horn, A, Bb, C and D Trumpets (Cornet, Flugelhorn), Bb/F Tenorbass and Bb/F/Gb/D Bass Trombones, Euphonium and Baritone, BBb, CC, Eb and F Tubas

  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.

• Trombones include position guides for the different valve combinations.

Common Clefs for Select Instruments:
• Bb/F Tenorbass Trombone, Bb/F/Gb/D Bass Trombone, Euphonium and Baritone include Treble, Tenor and Bass clefs.
• F/Bb Double French Horn, BBb Tuba, CC Tuba, Eb Tuba, and F Tuba include Treble and Bass clefs.

Treble clef on the brass instruments follow British Band tradition of being in transposing notation for non-transposing instruments. Affects Bb/F Tenorbass and Bb/F/Gb/D Bass Trombones, Euphonium, Baritone, and BBb, Eb and F Tubas. 

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, 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.

### 3/5 — Very useful

*2014-01-25, version 4.5*

Very useful

### 5/5 — I love it

*2013-09-08*

This app is amazing! It helped me learn new instruments and I love it. Thank you to the makers of the app. :)

### 2/5 — Not worth the money.

*2013-05-20*

Don't think it's worth the money. Wanted to help my son tune his French Double Horn and don't think it was very helpful. I would ask for a refund if I could. 😔

### 1/5 — Doesn't do (most) alternate fingerings!

*2012-09-13*

I bought this App specifically for looking up alternate fingerings for trumpet. This was an advertised feature ("If there are alternate fingerings available for a note, a button will allow you to navigate through them") This button is shown in the screen shots. 

However in practice the ONLY alternate fingering given is the trivial example of using 3rd valve in place of 1+2. There are many others possible and in fact most notes above the first octave on the instrument have alternate fingerings. These were what I bought the App for, and it fails to include them. 

In other respects it looks like a well polished App, but as it fails to perform as advertised, and does not do what I bought it for, I can only award it one star and I will be seeking a refund.

### 2/5 — Review2u

*2012-05-15*

I would be happy to review this app, but it refuses to download.

### 3/5 — nützlich aber teuer

*2011-01-16*

wünsche mir noch eine größere klavitur, animation der instrumente ist super gelungen aber leider ohne vertonung, etwas teuer aber in der praxis ganz nützlich für jemanden der keine noten kann :)
