Jumbo YELLOW Violin Fingering Tape 300 Inches for Fretboard Note Positions

For beginning strings students, I started using different colors for the fingerboard tape (1st finger = red, 2nd finger = yellow, 3rd finger = blue), and so I needed more colors than I had. This is good tape that stays on, not Cheap China Crap. It was a little tricky getting the roll started. A trick I learned is to gently tear the tape instead of cutting it. This makes it easier to peel the backing off.

I knew the installation was going to be a pain, but that's not because of the product. That's because I insist on musical perfection. If the stickers aren't in exactly the right spot, it will always drive me crazy. (Yes, I know you're supposed to base fingerings off how the instrument sounds, not where tapes are, but I haven't played viola in six years, and now that I'm in an orchestra again and have found I've forgotten a lot, I have to start somewhere.) Fortunately, these stickers can accommodate perfectionism. After I moved them a hair here and a hair there until I was satisfied, they stayed sticky enough that it looks like they're going to hold well. I wish there had been some sort of a guide or informational chart I could have used for cutting the strips the right size, but I found a way to make it work. If I were a music teacher intending to use this for as many instruments as possible, a guide would have been even more helpful. It also would have been nice if the instructions had included information on how many stickers to place and what notes to place them on, but I've had stickers before, so I already knew this, and Google can help any beginners who aren't having their music teacher do it for them. Both of these are probably unnecessary requests since there are obvious workarounds, but they would be nice features to make use easier. Overall, the tape serves it's purpose well. We'll see how well it holds up long-term, but so far, so good.

These are excellent for rental instruments. No damaged to the neck of the instrument, easy to remove, easy to apply, and does not warp or slide around the neck when under stress or work. The only minor downside: The tape is thick enough that (on some instruments) slide notes start to latch to the closest note, as the tape actually contact the string as your finger approaches the fret. Given that slide notes never happened while I was in orchestra for 8 years, and only appeared now that I'm making my own songs, I still rate this 5/5 stars, because it should absolutely be perfect for the vast majority, who are renting stringed instruments for classes. Even if you ARE doing slide notes, there is a way to apply the tape to get around the issue: Don't let the tape surround the entire neck. Remove small segments of the tape that are underneath a string. This way, you still have a reference line on either side of the string, but it won't ever mute the string itself accidentally.

Solid product. Love that it comes in black so you can still feel the tape but not see it!

Arrived swiftly and sensibly (but not overly) packed to stay dry and intact. The tape is as I expected. Bright and conspicuous, good width, and sticky enough. The sides of the tape roll do get a bit sticky so make sure you don’t have the roll attached to paper, keep it in the little resealable bag it came in, and it’ll be all good! I haven’t removed the tape from the fingerboard so I can’t say if it leaves a sticky residue or not.

I use it on a contra bass, and the black keeps it hidden

Finally some help to play the violin better. I find the viola easier but I have a very old violin from Italy that sounds incredible and i’ve Always struggled to get the notes right the first time I place my fingers. After just a few times, I can already tell the difference. The tape is easy to apply or take off. The seller emailed me to make sure I was happy. Always impressed with sellers like that. I am very pleased with the quality and the seller. Strongly recommend this product and seller.

I haven't touched my cello for years. Now, I'm having difficulty remembering where the notes are. This tape has been amazing. I'm not frustrated at hitting the wrong notes. It's helping me with muscle memory , too.

Great for beginner violin students. I bought this to use instead of stickers. Installation Tip: To place tape on the violin while the strings are on, put tape under strings toward the bridge where the gap is bigger and then move up to correct position and put in place.

Good
