Jumbo RED Color Violin Fingering Tape 300" Inches for Fretboard Note Positions

I knew the installation was going to be a pain, but that's not because of the product. That's because I insist on musical perfection. If the stickers aren't in exactly the right spot, it will always drive me crazy. (Yes, I know you're supposed to base fingerings off how the instrument sounds, not where tapes are, but I haven't played viola in six years, and now that I'm in an orchestra again and have found I've forgotten a lot, I have to start somewhere.) Fortunately, these stickers can accommodate perfectionism. After I moved them a hair here and a hair there until I was satisfied, they stayed sticky enough that it looks like they're going to hold well.I wish there had been some sort of a guide or informational chart I could have used for cutting the strips the right size, but I found a way to make it work. If I were a music teacher intending to use this for as many instruments as possible, a guide would have been even more helpful. It also would have been nice if the instructions had included information on how many stickers to place and what notes to place them on, but I've had stickers before, so I already knew this, and Google can help any beginners who aren't having their music teacher do it for them. Both of these are probably unnecessary requests since there are obvious workarounds, but they would be nice features to make use easier.Overall, the tape serves it's purpose well. We'll see how well it holds up long-term, but so far, so good.

Other than the time it took to get here, the product is great! Make sure if you want tape for beginners, get the colored tape. Black tape is for intermediate/advanced students.

It serves its purpose. Like many other tapes, it does it’s job, holds up pretty well but ultimately leaves a residue. It’s not that difficult to remove though.

These are excellent for rental instruments. No damaged to the neck of the instrument, easy to remove, easy to apply, and does not warp or slide around the neck when under stress or work.The only minor downside: The tape is thick enough that (on some instruments) slide notes start to latch to the closest note, as the tape actually contact the string as your finger approaches the fret.Given that slide notes never happened while I was in orchestra for 8 years, and only appeared now that I'm making my own songs, I still rate this 5/5 stars, because it should absolutely be perfect for the vast majority, who are renting stringed instruments for classes.Even if you ARE doing slide notes, there is a way to apply the tape to get around the issue: Don't let the tape surround the entire neck. Remove small segments of the tape that are underneath a string. This way, you still have a reference line on either side of the string, but it won't ever mute the string itself accidentally.

I use this tape on my violin, viola and cello. Works like a charm.

Product stays on and does not apear to "gum up" the finger board. I chose black which is a little hard to see, but I can feel edges. So, this works.I did not need to wrap it completely around the finger board, so the black is hidden by the color of the board's top surface. Good for learning shifting with precision (third, fourth and fifth position). Need not use for every note on each string, but just to find shifting position for first finger and maybe, fourth ( - after moving to the third postion location, for example). Could possibly try making the tape 20% narrower!?!? That may not be physically possilbe. Also, if the tape is placed under the bowing section of the strings, and then, moved back to the correct location (keeping it high and near the underside of the strings), this makes application very easy.

Does the job. No complaints so far.

This tape works great for my 14" viola. Even after I adjusted the tape several times as I was tuning my strings the tape stuck on the fingerboard.

Great for beginner violin students. I bought this to use instead of stickers.Installation Tip: To place tape on the violin while the strings are on, put tape under strings toward the bridge where the gap is bigger and then move up to correct position and put in place.

Works well for what it's supposed to do. Glue on backing can be a little fussy when applying, strips need to be replaced after a few months of playing.

tres bien merci

Great violin tape, I used it for many of my students
