## Description

The most comprehensive fingering charts for woodwind instruments available.

Immediate access to fingerings (with alternates and trills) 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: Piccolo, Concert, Alto and Bass Flutes, Oboe and Cor Anglais, Soprano, Alto, Bass and Contrabass Clarinets, Bassoon and Contrabassoon, Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Baritone Saxophones

  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. 
• Bassoon and Contrabassoon include Treble, Tenor and Bass clefs.

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.

## Review summary

Users widely praise Fingering Woodwinds for iPhone for covering many instruments with useful fingerings, clear layout, concert and written pitch display, and the option to hear fingerings. The app is seen as a handy pocket reference that supports alternate fingerings and a broad range. Common drawbacks are its price, and instrument-specific chart gaps (notably contra-bassoon and flute high notes) and occasional UI inconsistencies. Some reviewers also wish for customization or downloadable fingering databases. Overall it’s viewed as powerful and improving, but not without room for targeted chart updates and price adjustments.

### Pros

- Broad instrument support with strong fingering charts for sax, clarinet, oboe, flute, and bassoon
- Concert pitch (and written pitch) display and an easy-to-use interface
- Ability to hear fingerings and match pitch via audio playback
- Good overall range with alternate fingerings across instruments

### Cons

- Price is high / pricey for a woodwinds-focused app
- Some instrument charts are incomplete or not fully accurate (notably contra-bassoon and flute high-note fingerings)
- Occasional UI inconsistencies, such as left/right flat/sharp controls
