  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. 
• Trombones include position guides for the different valve combinations.

Common Clefs for Select Instruments:
• Bassoon and Contrabassoon include Treble, Tenor and Bass clefs.
• 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 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.

### 1/5 — Wrong contra fingerings

*2025-10-11*

The contra has different fingerings than bassoon. They are all wrong after e natural

### 1/5 — Great content - *HUGE* battery drain!!

*2025-04-11*

I’ve been using this app for a while, but recently it has become a huge on my battery. In the last 24 hours it has run 4 minutes on screen and over 16 hours in the background representing 50% of my battery drain for the day. This happens on multiple devices. I have tried deleting ND and reinstalling but the problem still exists.

### 5/5 — Amazing resource

*2023-02-19*

Great app overall. I have one critical update request to make the app much easier to use with students: PLEASE allow an option to switch to “light mode” from within the settings of the app. The dark mode visuals on the app are difficult for students to read. Since many of us use dark mode on our iOS devices overall, I have to switch to light mode on my entire phone or iPad every time I want to use the app with a student (and then back again afterwards). This is very time-consuming and annoying. Please fix this issue. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Needs huge improvements

*2023-02-01*

I am not able to hear the saxophone sounds , only piano, even after selecting alto saxophone. Nonsense

**Developer response:** Selecting an instrument shows the fingerings for that instrument. This is not a synthesizer.

### 4/5 — No Sound :(

*2022-12-02*

Will the app be updated for the latest iOS? There is no sound at all. Even with muting and unmuting.

### 4/5 — SOUND NOT WORKING

*2021-08-31*

Awesome music app. But there is no sound.

**Developer response:** Try muting and unmuting it. The speaker icon may not accurately represent the current state. Sorry.

### 5/5 — Great band app

*2021-08-05*

It’s definitely the best app for me and my friends, we are in a high school band and it helps, although it may be expensive its definitely worth it.

### 3/5 — No sound

*2019-10-27*

We need this app updated,no sound at all.

### 5/5 — Make your own fingering option

*2019-09-09*

I love this app. Always use it when I’m need of a reference. But there should an option to create your own fingerings and write notes for that fingering. I am a professional who sometimes uses alternate fingerings to change tone or make passages smoother. This feature would make leagues easier to keep up with my ever growing library of fingerings.

### 5/5 — Great reference app!

*2019-04-04*

This app is excellent!
I went for the one with brass and woodwind info and it does not disappoint.  There are a full range of instruments to choose from, including trombone, french horn and Cor Anglais. 

Alternative finger positions are easily accessed and it is so simple to move the note up and down by dragging, then left for flat and right for sharp. Very well thought out!

The stability is excellent and it hasn’t once crashed on my iPhone XS. 

Highly recommended!!!!
