Fantastic Finger Guide for Cellos | Stringed Musical Instruments | Fingerboard and Fretboard Stickers for Learning All Notes | Kids/Adult Beginner Cello Finger Guide | 3/4 Size

Not sure why so many people are bashing this. Yes we all know that you should use your ears to determine if you're hitting the right note or not - for me specifically who is playing along with tracks by ear it's nice to have a visual representation on the fingerboard where I should be rather than me been just off the mark as to where I should be playing (coming from bass guitar with frets). After applying this - it's also helped me run through my scales knowing where the notes are specifically so I can incorporate sound and finger position to cement muscle memory (or finger equiv) rather than trial and error. Some people might find it useful, others might not - all depends on your learning style but: - It was easy to apply - Stuck down well - Hasn't impacted my playing (no buzz or anything when playing notes) - The placement on a 4/4 electric cello matches the notes so it is accurate (played with an electric d'addario tuner so can confirm that notes played on indicated positions are the right notes. Worked for me

Works well, not too difficult to apply and seems durable. I’m pleased.

Really bad material. Measurements are not right

I find this a valuable aid and spot on for tuning

Do not buy!! It is very inaccurate. Un usable.

I purchased this 'Fantastic Finger Guide for Cellos' understanding from the product description that it would function as a beginners guide as to where to stop the notes on the fingerboard of a 4/4 size cello. My cello conforms to the 4/4 specification of measuring string length nut to bridge of 695mm. Playing up the notes on any string using the 'Fantastic Finger Guide for Cellos', the notes become increasingly hopelessly sharp. On the C string for instance, when the string is stopped at the G position, the note produced is about 1/4 tone above G. Thus, it is so inaccurate as to be useless for its avowed purpose.

Had to return as 3/4 cello I bought from Amazon was worse than a toy!

I’m not really sure why this is needed. All string players have to learn to tune by ear — that’s the whole point of playing without frets: learning to play in tune. Did students back in the day need things like this? No, they had aural training. I’m pretty sure David Popper didn’t have stickers on his cello! Plus, constantly turning the head to look at the left hand actually hinders playing. Good technique relies on developing a sense of touch and sound, not visual cues.

L’idea é bella ma purtroppo i segni sulla guida non sono perfetti. Mano a mano che si scende se ti attieni a quei segni sei molto crescente. Ho dovuto mettere degli altri adesivi sovrapposti per correggere la distanza. SCONSIGLIATO

Learning cello on my own (with help from Udemy lol). This is a really great little tool to help me get my fingering right. I was able to hit notes by sound, like i could tell if i was a bit flat or sharp, but this makes it a lot easier. I'm hoping that with practice i'll start to know right where to place my fingers. I like this way better than those tape markers...I get that they're really basic but this is more helpful. You can see what note, not just where. I like too that they differentiated the natural and open notes, as well as the sharps and flats. It's a bit of a struggle to get it on correctly. Try sliding it behind the strings while still on the backing...that way you get the feel for where it needs to go and where you may need to do a little repositioning. Once you're ready, it takes a couple of minutes to apply, and to get everything aligned. It seems nicely sturdy, unlike the tapes that tend to plop off randomly. Really neat, useful little tool for the budding cello player. Highly recommend!

Very good product.

N’est pas pour un violoncelle

I was very happy with this product. I also ordered and received the fingerboard tape for my violin - a smaller version of this same product. What's awesome about this product is that the tape includes positions for both sharps and flats and half steps. It also identifies placement for First, Second and Third Position. I had to be careful putting on the tape and if you scan the QR code - the seller has made a short instructional video which shows you exactly how to do this. I was super impressed with both the product and the fact that the seller explained how to install the tape and gave warnings about not letting the tape set on the instrument longer than 15 mins before final placement. Great little product and cheaper than it's immediate competition. Have used ones from other sellers on Amazon which weren't as good as this one. Very impressed.
