Just select the octave, then the note. From there you can use the radio buttons to find trills and alternate fingerings.

Do you use a fingering not in the app and wish it was for your students? Send an e-mail to me and well see about getting it included in future updates!

Latest reviews of Bassoon Buddy app for iPhone and iPad

Great resource!
Easy-to-read fingering charts that include alternate and trill fingerings. The images are accurate and less cumbersome than most bassoon charts.
Great resource!
Much easier to follow than other bassoon charts.
A great pocket resource
If you dont want to haul "Cooper and Toplansky" around, this app is a great resource. Bassoon fingerings a many and varied. This app provides practical fingerings for trills and alternatives. The app also offers an audio example of the desired pitch to compare with.
Trills and alternates arent working
Great app, but I cannot access the trill or alternate fingering section. I thought this was due to the ad blocking access in the free version, but these sections cannot be opened in the paid version either.
