Fantastic Finger Guide for Cellos - Music Accessories for String Instruments, Fingerboard and Fretboard Stickers for Learning All Notes, Learn to Play Cello, 4/4 Size

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!

For both those just starting out or resuming after a long absence, this guide helps build your confidence and coordination. Initially, you can look at the marks to help with finger placement and spacing.After some level of accurate finger placement, you won’t need to look at the guide, simply play. If a note doesn’t quite sound right, you can look down at where your fingers are to see what error might have crept in. Without the marks as feedback your fingers might simply fumble around without any solid reference, continuing to make mistakes.For those who proclaim themselves pedagogical purists, good for you and your students who can magically put their fingers in the right spots. For us normal humans, this guide serves as training wheels do on a bike. Once you’ve gained your confidence and balance, you won’t need them. Until them, they are a useful aid.

this is a great help product in learning Cello but getting it installed perfectly in place and with no bubbles is simply impossible on the first or even third try...

Guides line you up perfectly, relatively easy to apply, though a little tricky to get under the strings without sticking before you're ready, application is super super easy if the strings are removed. I have not tried removing it, but it sticks well with no visible bubbles and no edge peeling, so it does not change the feel at all under your fingers or look bad. Having the notes and flats all specifically labeled is also extra helpful as you're beginning.

Somehow missed that this is one sticker with all of the markings already properly spaced on it and not a bunch of individual stickers that you would have to manually find the correct key for (in hindsight this was VERY clearly illustrated in the listing, I am simply blind). Having the marking already spaced out in one big sticker is SO GREAT when your instrument does not have frets as a rule. Also can confirm they are the correct spacing - they perfectly match the markings my instructor had set up previously for the different notes and positions. Included with the sticker is a MIRRORED VISUAL GUIDE that illustrates the cello note marking from the POV of the cellist so you can mentally and visually connect the notes with your hand position. As somebody who only recently started cello as an adult, I wish I had thought to look for this kind of product sooner!

I was amazed at how quickly we received this. It was fairly easy to install with very easy to follow instructions (provided in a linked YouTube video). Take care to keep the sticker tight to the underside of the strings until you get it into position. Once installed, I tested the fingering with a vibration tuner attached and the notes were spot on! This will be such a valuable tool to help my Granddaughter learn her fingering. Thank You!!!

Relatively easy to install... unless like me, you'd already string your cello *insert facepalm here* not too much more complicated but definitely made it trickier than necessary.Other than that though this is a great addition for learners, it's helped a lot but I don't think anyone should rely on it indefinitely. It only shows more for the first 2 hand positions, the rest would be difficult to do a sticker reliably for but it is what it is. Good product.

I bought this for my daughter cello class as a beginner, unfortunately, this sticker didn’t work well. She said it’s different from the one that the teacher gave her.
