About this tool
This page opens the fingering chart with the cello and the C major scale already selected — the one-octave first-position path is drawn above, with a finger number on every note.
C major contains the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, B with no accidentals. On the cello it begins on the open C string — the instrument's lowest, most resonant note — which makes it the cello's home key and usually the first full scale a cellist studies.
The full tool covers all twelve roots, major plus three minor forms, and all four bowed instruments — violin, viola, cello and double bass — and everything runs locally in your browser.
Example. Violin D major in first position lists the finger and string for each scale note, including the low and high fingering variants.
Limit. Charts stay in first position for violin, viola, cello and double bass, with no shift into higher positions.
