darticus Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I got a STAGI HAYDEN and I downloaded a button chart. BUT Which note is played where. Do the little lines after a button letter on the chart mean something? Where is the C played on the right and left hand if the C is on the line below the bottom line of the music staff. I included my chart and some notes. Where would these notes be played on right and left hand. Sorry just trying to get started. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradewinds Ted Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) The little lines after the note letters on the chart indicate the octave, and more lines means higher. So c' is an octave higher than c and c" is two octaves higher than c or one octave higher than c' I can't tell you for certain which octave is middle c (on the line below the treble staff) for your instrument, but I suspect it will be the one marked c' on the chart. But really, just get the instrument to a piano keyboard, and check it out for yourself! It isn't shown in this chart, but sometimes an uppercase letter such as C would be used to indicate a lower octave. That may help when looking at charts for other instruments.

Don Taylor Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) The two C's that are circled in the diagram are both middle C, one on the left and one on the right hand side. So C' is middle C, C" is an octave higher and an undecorated C is an octave below middle C. Edited October 19, 2016 by Don Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, do you have a copy of the Elise tutor you could share? So where would you play the C below the 5 line staff? Thanks Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Taylor Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Assuming that is the treble staff (you do not show a clef symbol) then the C below the 5 line staff is middle C. You can probably get an Elise tutor from the Concertina Connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ron The C below the 5-line staff is middle C (c' in your diagram), and as mentioned above, there's one on each side, indicated by the bold circles in the diagram.
