Violin Fingering Tape (Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Black)

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.

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.

This tape is easy to apply and adheres nicely. The red, yellow and blue colors are easy to see at a sideways glance.As I'm applying it, I cut each piece of tape a tad wider than the fingerboard and and press the ends over the edges of the fingerboard. This way there is no tape on the neck of the violin. Works nicely.Two thumbs up.

Product stays on and does not apear to "gum up" the finger board. I chose black which is a little hard to see, but I can feel edges. So, this works.I did not need to wrap it completely around the finger board, so the black is hidden by the color of the board's top surface. Good for learning shifting with precision (third, fourth and fifth position). Need not use for every note on each string, but just to find shifting position for first finger and maybe, fourth ( - after moving to the third postion location, for example). Could possibly try making the tape 20% narrower!?!? That may not be physically possilbe. Also, if the tape is placed under the bowing section of the strings, and then, moved back to the correct location (keeping it high and near the underside of the strings), this makes application very easy.

Have actually just used the tape on cello so far and that's what I find versatile about it-not pre measured or perforated so just cut amount you need and after sliding from bridge side of fingerboard position and if needed pluck before pressing down to fully adhere to ebonyPencil marks are ok as guides but I end up removing and replacing if I don't bow and/or pluck each stringGenerous amount of tape on roll helpsWanted to make the silver reflective strips work for cello but the black is narrower and looks goodViola is also going to do well as high registers are harder to stretch fingers up to than on violin

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 was reluctant to tape my violin, especially as an adult student. After buying this tape and using it for just a few days, I wish I’d done it much sooner. This tape stayed in place through my 4-hr Orchestra rehearsal in a hot room, with sweaty fingers! The black is barely noticeable especially if you cut it at the edge of the fingerboard. My intonation has greatly improved because I can feel the tape just a teeny bit. Love this product!

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.

tres bien merci

Great violin tape, I used it for many of my students

Works well for what it's supposed to do. Glue on backing can be a little fussy when applying, strips need to be replaced after a few months of playing.
