Future Projects

Here are some ideas being considered for future and improved fingering charts in this site. If you would be interested in helping by providing original fingerings or fingering descriptions for any of these projects, please contact Mark Charette.

  1. Separating saxophone altissimo fingerings by model size (soprano vs. alto vs. tenor, etc.).
  2. Providing descriptions of fingerings that are listed without a description.
  3. Providing quarter-tone and multiphonic fingerings for each woodwind instrument.
  4. Providing piccolo, clarinet, and recorder thirds tremolo fingerings.
  5. Including ocarina and fife fingerings.
