    This document shows finger placement for various string instruments. It illustrates: 1) How to place fingers on the violin, viola, cello, and bass to anchor notes. 2) A technique called "hopping" where the middle finger remains anchored while the index finger hops between notes. 3) A "monkey tail" technique where only the index finger lifts briefly to tap a half note while the other fingers remain placed.
