Fantastic ★★★★★
As a music educator, I've been extremely happy with this app! I teach elementary music, and I found it really helpful to hook my iPad up to my projector in order to show the students where the note actually was on their instrument, and allow the students to hear the note.
It really is a helpful visual aid for the students to see! I recommend that my students pick up this app on their own devices in order to help while they are at home.
It's like having a pocket full of instruments!

A need for all music educators! ★★★★★
I am a music educator, was raised by two music educators and have been a trombonist for nearly twelve years now. I love this app because it does the following:
- Provides fingerings for all instruments in a concert band setting (yes, including bassoon, bass clarinet, english horn, and all the other funny ones you can think of).
- Provides a graphic of the instrument so you don't have to figure out which side key to press.
- Shows concert pitch and the transposed pitch at all times for quick transposition.
- Has a reliable alternate AND trill fingerings for all instruments (a must have).
- Being a trombonist, I had to figure out if there were any errors on my specific instrument. I can only find one for the most part: high G and F# should be pulled in slightly. Don't be fooled though; the low range for bass trombone still has the tendencies shown with the trigger down.
Only thing I wish it did: show pitch tendencies for all instruments on individual notes. Other than that, it's pretty darn thorough. Buy this app!

Great app ★★★★★
This app is worth every penny! I use it nearly every day as a band director who can't possibly remember alternate fingerings for the high register of an oboe. It even shows alternate trill fingerings! Love it!

Awesome!! ★★★★
I think that this app is pretty amazing! I'm a music teacher and I don't always remember the fingerings for every instrument, now I have them at my fingertips!

Very good and informative app ★★★★
First I thought it is an expensive app, but I tried it and I was completely enthousiastic. This app contains the fingering diagrams for all concert band instruments. Especially the way the app displays the information is impressive. Also the concert and written pitches are very clear displayed.

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 right or left of the note for constant sharps and flats.
Using the Piano: Swipe to move the keyboard, tap to play notes, touch & hold then slide to glissando. When you glissando up the keyboard, notes will be notated with sharps, when you glissando down, notes will be notated with 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 access the fingerings without hearing the pitches.
Use the Play Note or Play Trill button to repeatedly hear what's being displayed.
