A simplified CHORD SPELLER in ascii form.
(Print/Save it as a text file no need to keep returning here.)
This chart is placed online by request of a young piano student. If there is any interest by others, I may expand the chart.

Please note that while any fingering that is more natural may be used, still, one should know that there are good reasons to use the most common fingering as shown below. The fingering shown is for the Left or Bass hand, and (usually) the numbers are simply reversed for the right (Melody) hand
