Horn Fingering & Tuning

The most COMPLETE intonation resource for students, private music instructors, and band directors! Fingerings, alternate fingerings, and tuning suggestions are compiled from years of research from the best in the profession.

Horn Fingering & Tuning Chart is an interactive, color-coded fingering chart for the full-range of horn. Tap or scroll through notes on the staff to see its corresponding fingering as well as its inherent pitch tendency. In addition, each figure will display suggestions for alternative fingerings in order to play each note in equal tuning and/or adjust each note for just tuning. Black-color indicates regular fingerings; Green-color indicates suggested fingerings to add; and Red-color indicates suggested fingerings to delete.

The app also identifies the best tuning notes for horn, and the information-button provides helpful tips on tuning the horn in relation to dynamics, air speed and direction, hand position, and embouchure. A detailed Key Chart allows you to zoom in on particular fingerings and note names.

Some notes will display up to four suggested alternate fingerings. You will find the options indicated in a menu on the right side of the fingering.

In settings, you can change the viewing size for your tablet or mobile device.
