Most circle of fifths are confusing and cluttered
Decoder Circle of Fifths shows you the key signatures for each key by visually highlighting which notes are flat or sharp AND shows you where they appear in each key's major scale.
We even added in a little extra - the Quick Chords, so that you can see how chords are built up from the notes. This tool simplifies the theory so that you can focus on the fun part -Playing More

Let customers speak for us
from 230 reviewsThe product is great However the shipping handling was terrible. The product was delivered by USPS and the package was bent and could not be repaired. I know this was not Noisy Clans fault but the card inside said There is no such thing as bad feedback. The package was marked do not bend but that package was placed inside a USPS package that was not labeled as such so the postal service didn’t handle with care.
It's been 30 plus years I have held a guitar, your NOISY tool has made my return back a joy. The cord charts are very welcome.
Thank to all of you.
Clever design and convenient size. I look forward to to using it with my new iPad Pro
I am a baritone ukulele player that uses these to help me on my four string. It is the same as a guitar, you just forget the fifth and sixth strings in your search. Looking forward to a day the day this is made for baritone ukes.
It’s simple and practice learning with this method!! About Noisy Clan , the are professional and they take care of you ! I had a problem with custom of my country, but they sorted in less than one minute , thank you so much again !! People … worth it !!
It took time to come but now all my family of musicians (1 oboe, 1 viola, 1 basson, 1 clarinet and 1 saxophone) have adopted it !
There was a broken part which has been replaced very rapidly (we received an email to inform us it could happen) and it took some tightening of one screw to make it work properly but since those adjustmnets have been made, it's just perfect.
Thanks for the rapid expedition of the replacement part and for this great product !
It did take a long time to receive the grandstand with the Kickstarter campaign. Once it arrived, it is a solid and useful stand. There was a part that was defective but was quickly replaced. I recommend it.
Excellent stand. I've enjoyed using it to practice at home. Looking forward to using it at a gig in a couple weeks.
Look, sometimes you want something functional and rugged. Sometimes you want something that looks nice. It's pretty rare you can get both, at least in the music accessory world. This stand knocks both of these out of the part. It's solid. It looks beautiful. It sits nicely with my gear and actually inspires me to play more. Nice things that do a great job just make everything a little better. It holds my iPad well, both upright and flat, as well as hold any books I'm working through. The clamp on the left is strong but not damaging.
My only regret is I didn't find this sooner and could have avoided the pile of stands I have now that just weren't this one. I highly recommend buying one.
First, I acquired rhe Wee Stand. I am a bass player - upright and UBass. Thus the adjustable height of this product has been just marvellous, with sufficient rigidity to support my iPad safely while playing the music on it. Well done, Noisy Clan.
Encouraged by my first purchase from you, I bought the Cheat Sheets for the Ukulele and these also have proved marvellous. Well done again, Noisy Clan!
I bought the Circle of Fifths Decoder for guitar and I was impressed by the quality for the price and the design itself -- very useful and easy to understand. I also did not expect the accompanying book to be so well-written and clear. I would definitely recommend.
I like them. I like them a lot.
Love the noisy clan products, well worth the $. Very quick shipping to Australia as well. What's not to like, learning is everything.
As soon as I started unpacking the items it was very easy to tell that high quality components were used and the attention to detail was evident by the workmanship. Not only does it do what it’s designed to do - it is also a clean and sophisticated system. Excellent and attractive addition to my music room. Highly recommended and appreciated.
Ok it was a rough start, wrong color sent, missing pieces from out of the book…but the Decoder itself is just a brilliant design.
Would I change anything? A bit smaller wouldn’t hurt and the stand while an inspired concept is not something I would use.
What is perfect? The simplicity of use and the ruggedness of this wheel is much better of a product than the frailty of the paper designs and fiddly wooden ones.
