About Brass Fingers!

Introducing the first free multi-brass instrument fingerings app!

(Please let us know if you find otherwise)

Can't remember a fingering? Play a French Horn and can't remember concert F#? Forgot your fingering chart at home? Don't have the space for it? Never even got one? Brass Fingers can fix all of these problems!

With Brass Fingers, you can have fingerings (or positions) for every common brass instrument at the edge of your stand or at the tip of your fingers! It has a multi-octave range of instrument fingerings as well as concert pitches. It goes as low as the instrument can play, and the highest you can go without every note having the same fingering. It has many instruments, including Mellophone, Bugle, and even Harmonica! (Even though a harmonica is not a brass instrument, it has exactly 3 octaves, which was previously the amount of octaves that were displayed.) Don't want to have to turn the device on for every fingering? Just press the "stay on" button. Also you can save a default for just about everything, which saves even more time.

If you send us (by e-mail) an instrument and all the fingerings for it, we will put it in, even if it is not a brass instrument. Also, don't forget to look at our page on making reviews, just in case you feel like making a review (it might help): https://sites.google.com/site/gr8lightningsolutions/extra-notices/how-to-rate

This app kept crashing for me. It's a great idea, but too confusing for my younger students. I wish there was a picture of the note on the staff. I don't think younger students would understand they octave numbering system. With some improvements, this could be great.

Thank you for writing this. Sadly, it wont help me because I am learning an F tuba. Any other less common keys are also left out. At least put the key in the instrument description so kids aren't misled. Thanks again.

N70%
by N####:

It doesn't account for F tubas, C tubas or tubas with five or six valves. At least to me, that makes it basically useless.

J70%

I am a first year marching band student. In concert band, Orchestra, etc, I play French horn and I have been playing for the last 4 years. My director has a rule that French horn players are only allowed to march with a mellophone. This is the only app with those fingerings which I need very much. My only complaint is this: what is octave 0, octave 1, octave -1, etc? I wouldn't have a problem with this app if it weren't for this issue. If this was fixed I could rate this app higher.

Love getting app updates Great app, but make it look like an Android 4.x interface instead of an Android 2.x interface. Menu button now works on Nexus 10, but two menus show up on my Galaxy Nexus. Sprint Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.2.1 and Samsung Nexus 10 running Android 4.2.2.
