Alternate Fingerings

Post by Bo »

Is there a good PRINTABLE chart of alternate fingerings apart from Larry Krantz's?
I love the one at Virtual Flute, but it is not printable....

Thanks for any advice!

I usually experiment and memorise them, keeping a whole library of fingerings in my head. Sometimes I derive them using acoustical principles, but I don't expect most people to do that. For those really exotic ones that I really can't remember, I write it down on the first page of my notebook =)

Usually, there are only a few alternate fingerings that you would use, so internalise them just like standard fingerings. If in the event that for some strange reason you need a fingering that you desperately seek for... just look up the internet! Otherwise I would suggest you buy one of those books that contain lots and lots of fingerings.

One more option... is to retype the whole chart yourself.

If you're looking online, the Woodwind Fingering Guide is an excellent place to look at as well.

Here's a link to the online charts I like. I have no idea how well they print.

The print quality is very good, I printed them out the other day. :D
I might even laminate them.
