Violin tape? (UK)
Just wondering what you're using for violin tape to go on the Stick fretboard? I can't seem to find anything suitable on amazon.co.uk? This is the nearest thing I've found... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adhesive-Colou ... B00PK3M5LOAny thoughts guys? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Violin tape? (UK)
I bought several rolls here at etsy.com for my Rosewood (it does not work well on Railboards!): https://www.etsy.com/listing/239169492/ ... oCak3w_wcBMore info here: viewtopic.php?p=92916#p92916Here's what the black keys looked like marked out on a 10-string Rosewood in Matched Reciprocal tuning. That doesn't help you see the frets on the Railboard, but they'd always be halfway between adjacent markers. Chapman Stick with black keys of a piano marked in violin tape: Chapman Stick with black keys of a piano marked in violin tape and the notes in letters: The link to the forum topic above has the pics to download if you'd like to use them. Probably not as helpful to you unless the black keys on a piano meant something to you. Cheers! download/file.php?id=2860&mode=viewdownload/file.php?id=2861&mode=viewSteve

Re: Violin tape? (UK)
Brilliant - thanks for the response. I will check out etsy. I'm also Rosewood, in Bari/Mel. Taping off the sections of the neck is helpful to visualise what's going on.
I'd also like to find some simple note stickers as well...

Re: Violin tape? (UK)
I also bought clear note letter stickers from Ebay somewhere, normally used for piano. They worked very well, although I had stickers all over the fretboard! A year later or so, and I plan to remove all of it next time I do a string change. But it was very helpful at first!

Re: Violin tape? (UK)
If you have dot inlays but want to try linear, or if you want to see the relationship of a different tuning to the markers, violin tape is very helpful!

Re: Violin tape? (UK)
I like having my Stick taped up - I use red tape for the black keys.

Re: Violin tape? (UK)
Thanks for the interest everyone. Unfortunately that Etsy store (LongBeachMusic) only ships to the USA. But here are some ideas for the UK: White 3mm pinstripe tape - one of the reviewers used this for a violin: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009680CW8Various colours of 3mm pinstripe tape (orange, silver, gold and more): https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B015GOA9G4I couldn't find a set of piano stickers I liked, but these seem ok for fretboard note names. For the Stick it would probably need a few packs and a pair of scissors: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01AHT7BD2Maybe SE might stock some of these things... I haven't looked actually, my bad. Given the interest here, we could have some suggested "tape layouts" to help people navigating the Stick fretboard. Hope this helps someone else.
