Winds

The “Davis Keyboard Orchestration Charts ‘Winds’ (2 Charts)” digital download includes 2 sets (4 in total) (1 “Full Bleed” for digital use and 1 with “Crop Marks” for the possibility of printing and laying on the keyboard behind the black keys). The Orchestration Charts were created for composers, arrangers, orchestrators and teachings to be able to visually see the ranges of other instruments on the piano (while composing or teaching). The charts have been mapped to the size of the standard piano keyboard so that you can also have them printed (some double sided), at a local print shop, to lay behind the black keys (or you can reference them digitally!).

These charts show the written ranges, and sounding ranges, of standard Wind instruments- Piccolo, Flute, Alto Flute, Bass Flute, Oboe D’amore, Oboe, English Horn, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Bassoon, and Contra Bassoon (written and sounding range). The charts were written so you can quickly reference the ranges, to see if your melody or harmony fits within the ranges of common wind instruments and ensembles (ie. wind quintet, wind band, etc.). This new tool is a MUST HAVE for every composer!

The Charts Included:

11-Winds (written range)

12-Winds (transposing range)
