Just want to tell you how thrilled I am to have discovered your Fretless Finger Guides! Wow! I am a 73 year old grandma of 10, who is running a little music studio in little Dillsboro, NC. I am teaching fiddle/violin and piano, have 20 fiddle students, plus am teaching in an after school program called JAM, Junior Appalachian Musicians. The finger guide is becoming invaluable in teaching these kids! What a marvelous invention! Thank you so much! I will continue to be one of your constant users.

Thanks for a good product. I am just learning violin and this has been a tremendous help! I have a Guide on my first violin. I just purchased a new violin and plan to put a Guide on it too.

Hi,
Just wanted to say that I just love your product. Could never get the fingering. In about two days I was able to play 4 bars of twinkle little star. For someone that never played an instrument before, it's not bad.
Thanks again,

Thanks for a great product. As a sixty something trying to learn fiddle (electric btw) out in western Maine I was stuck with self-taught guides that just didn't work for me. Your guide makes sense to me so thanks. I am a visual learner and your system allows me to get a handle on how all of this is tied together. That feature is simply missing from The American Fiddle Method, The Fiddle Guru and of course the Suzuki Method (which is far to constrained for me after all I'm trying to learn fiddle played by common folk not concert level classical). It just rests on how one learns best and your system has gotten me excited again and believing that I can really do this!!!!

I had to write and let you know this little piece of plastic is the best thing ever! I learned to play years ago and decided at 39 I needed a new hobby. I picked up my violin and realized I had forgotten EVERYTHING. So I found a teacher (who happens to specialize in bluegrass) and started lessons. After 2 lessons nothing was clicking and I asked him if he thought your product would help, he said yup. I got the finger guide in the mail and put in on. I was playing old Macdonald and eine kleine nachtmusik within an hour! Thanks again and I'll be recommending you to all the weekend strummers and the pseudo-musically inclined I know. My hubby may be ordering soon for his guitar. He will be deploying for his 7th tour to Afghanistan and is trying to figure out how to take it with him. Once he does you'll be hearing from us!!! Thanks again.

Hi, Nick,

I just wanted to tell you I recieved my Fretless Finger Guide (4/4 violin) today. Lightning fast postage, considering I live in the outback of Australia (Central Queensland).
I also want to shout from the rooftop that this product is a life saver, a godsend. I will definately tell all of my musician friends about it. I have left some 5 star feedback for you on ebay. Keep up the good work!

Kindest Regards,
Scott H.

I just want to take a moment to thank you for the free online tuner for the violin! I am a 54 year-old beginner and I admire what some people are able to do with the internet! I purchased one of your fantastic Fretless Finger guides and what a great product! I'm excited to get started and am looking forward to learning to play the violin using your product. I've learned to play the guitar "by ear" since I was 14 years old, but with your Fretless Finger Guide I am confident that I will learn with greater success and enjoy the fun of playing the violin in no-time. Again, many thanks.

Thank God for your finger guide product! I am 55 years old and am playing Amazing Grace in under 2 weeks with 1 to 2 hours of practice each night after dinner. I have tried all the books and NOTHING comes close to this tool at a wonderful price. The violin finger guide is easy to install. Stays in place well, the fit was perfect. Its not often that you can buy something that works so well for so little money!
Thank you, thank you thank you!
MANY THANKS,

Dear Nick,
Your Fretless Finger Guides are magical! I am a learner violinist, and was always wondering how well I would place each finger and this made my playing hesitant. I played Amazing Grace and found that your Fretless Finger Guides built confidence in me as I managed to place my fingers on the right spots on the strings every time! Your Fretless Finger Guides will now help me to speed up my progress as a learner violinist. Ba Ba Black Sheep, Twinkle Twinkle, Silent Night are all coming along well enough. I am very satisfied indeed. I am visiting your site often so as to reap the benefit of the materials you are publishing. Keep up the good work. A BIG Thank You to you!
Kind regards,
Judex.

Hi,
Just received your Fretless Finger Guide for the violin today. Must say it's fantastic and is helping me with my playing.
Thank you.

Received my finger guide in the mail this week. What a fantastic product! I play the piano so using these guides were easy to use in order to play the violin. I have several songs memorized already! Thanks for a super resource.

I received the Fretless Finger Guides for my students. It is the best idea I have seen. Now my students can spend more time getting the bow where need be. Most students say they can not remember where to place the fingers in the beginning, but thanks to you Nick, the note problems are solved. I feel that the student,old or young, has a better chance to learn faster. Everyone likes to play a song, and now learning a song helps them practice so they can start on a new one. After the students play their violin with the fretless guide, I have them try on another fiddle without. Remarkably they have developed their mind where their fingers go by habit and repetition. If the student knows what the right note sounds like they learn to hear when it is out of tune.
Thank you,

Hi,
LOVE your fretless finger guide! What a help. At 58 I am attempting to learn on my own for now, after inheriting my Aunt's 80 year old violin. With a few books & dvds I have actually made progress (slow) in a month. The finger guide has been the single most helpful tool. Great product. I am happy to finally tackle a years-long dream. Next week I move beyond Twinkle Twinkle......
Sincerely,
Patty Moore

I bought one of these, because I am not proficient at all with reading music, and I wanted to get a kick start on the violin. Man, does this thing work. I edited every score with the appropriate colors to learn faster. I had tried the old tape trick. Guess what? I couldn't even play and I was thinking too hard on where the notes were, rather than my technique. Tape sucks-Fretlessfingerguides should be a part of every violinist/fiddler's kit. I don't feel right without one on my violin. Thanks fretlessfingerguides.com!!! Thanks,
Adam Murphy
