A must for learning all cello notes that is better than strips of tape on fingerboard. Easier to see the notes to learn them.

I am returning to the cello after a long absence. I bought a brand-new different-sized cello and I was just too lazy and impatient to learn the proper fingering totally by ear. I see a few misunderstandings in the reviews. First, the markings will not be exact. Every instrument is different, for one thing. Also, the A string fingerings are always going to be a bit higher on the neck than the guideline and the G string fingerings will be a bit lower. So a straight line could never be exact. A marking is just a general guide. I learned originally without any marks at all. You will quickly learn to find the sweet spots on your own strings. Additionally, the guide should not be sturdy, have strong adhesive, or be expected to last long. This is a very temporary aid. You will not need it long at all. So light adhesive is actually a good thing, since you will be taking it off soon.About installation: The guide is perforated in three places. You can take it apart to make application easier. You can also loosen your strings, although as a beginner you might hesitate to do so. As I mentioned before, I am lazy, so I left the strings alone and loosened the top third of the backing, then folded it down flat behind the rest of the sticker. Then I carefully slid the whole sticker beneath the strings down near the bottom of the finger board where things are more roomy and gently slid it along the bottom of the strings until it was in the right spot. Then I laid it down onto the fingerboard and smoothed it with my finger along the space between the strings, working my way out from the center. I rolled the backing down another third, repeated the smoothing process, then did it again for the bottom third. Finally, I smoothed the wings down on the edges of the fingerboard. My sticker is smooth and unwrinkled, without bubbles. However, I purposely did not try to get a really good, tight seal. I don't want goo left behind when I remove the sticker next week. If you get lots of wrinkles, bubbles, rips, etc, don't worry. It won't interfere with your practice, and the sticker won't be on there long enough to matter, anyway. Even if you wanted the guide to last (you won't) it couldn't. Your fingerboard is made of ebony for a reason. Just playing normally will wear a rosewood or other inferior fingerboard down in no time, so a sticker doesn't stand a chance. If, somehow, goo does remain after the sticker is removed, use a cello cleaner to remove it. Don't try any home remedies! Fingerboards are expensive to repair!One final word: Stick with it until you get the hang of your instrument. If you love music, your cello will bring you joy and help you unwind for the rest of your life.

In the description they listed all of the sizes but this only fits a three-quarters cello. Their description is incredibly misleading avoid this product and this company. I went back to them to order the full size and they said they'd ship it in a week and then I log into my account today to see where it is and they're not shipping it for another month. Canceled it!
