Description
I invented Westons Fantastic Finger Guides for my own middle school orchestra back in 2017. Designed with the beginner in mind our finger guides help you quickly and confidently get up and playing on day one.
We started with the violin finger guide back in December 2019 and have now expanded our collection to include finger guides for Viola, Cello, Acoustic/Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Ukulele, & Electric Bass.
Based upon customer feedback, we improved the colors for better visibility while playing, material/adhesive for easier installation, and ink for greater durability.
The Fantastic Finger Guides for cello have helped 1000s of cellist gain confidence in learning to play the cello. Please note that on rare occasion the note alignment may come in slightly sharp or flat because of a slight variance that can occur between cello makes. There is a simple solution to this problem. If the pitches land too sharp, simply remove the finger guide and trim off a portion of the triangles at the top and reapply. If they come in too flat, then simply lower the finger guide on the neck. As a last option you may loosen the strings slightly and using both hands adjust the bridge towards or away from the fingerboard until the sticker is centered on the pitches. In most cases the notes simply line up when installed.
We take pride in our product and wish you the best on your musical journey!
Thanks!

Why are our finger guides so FANTASTIC?
Westons Fantastic Finger Guides were designed by a middle school orchestra teacher for his own students back in the Fall of 2017. He realized that finger tapes did not provide enough musical information for his students and wanted something better. He couldnt find a solution on the market and decided to create his own finger guide with all the essential musical information to get his students playing songs as soon as possible. The finger guides worked so well that he now ships his patented Fantastic Finger Guides all over the World to help more students find success playing string instruments (patent # 10504378).
The Fantastic Cello Finger Guide is part of a larger family of finger guides. Over the past year Fantastic Finger Guides has created finger guides for the cello, violin, viola, classical guitar, electric/acoustic guitar, ukulele and electric bass.
