Guitars

These Davis Keyboard Orchestration Charts show the written ranges, and sounding ranges, of standard Guitar & Plucked Stringed instruments- Cavaquinho, Ukelele, Banjo, Mandolin, Acoustic/Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, and Contrabass Guitar Guitar (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 Guitar & Plucked Stringed instruments and ensembles (ie. Guitar Ensemble, Guitar & Mandolin, etc.). This new tool is a MUST HAVE for every composer!

The “Davis Keyboard Orchestration Charts ‘Guitars’ (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!).

The Charts Included:

17-Guitars (written range)

18-Guitars (transposing range)
