This Windows app generates fingerings for brass wind instruments. It invokes gnuplot to make a diagram showing the harmonic and error for the selected fingering, as well as for alternate fingerings. The program finds all fingerings within an acceptable error range, then chooses the one with the lowest harmonic (shortest tubing length). If no fingering falls in the acceptable error range, the closest match is chosen.

Features

  • User defined error range for tuning tube length / accuracy trade-off
  • Flexible transpose and instrument key options
  • Half-tube and whole-tube modes
  • Adjustable 440 reference
  • Option to remove one or more fingerings from consideration
  • Adjustable slide lengths
  • Chromatic, major, and minor scales, one or more octaves
