As far as I can tell, it's just the circle of fifth, plus some other information, plus some clockhands = $50? am I missing something here?

| | | | It only takes a few suckers, and his 'invention' is paid for, plus profit. The only reason it's legal, is because it's an actual product (a couple of leaflets and a cardboard wheel) being sold. Happens all the time and it's unfortunate. |

Most circle of fifths I've seen are the reverse of what this clock shows. In other words, sharps usually go clockwise and flats counter-clockwise (maybe it's because they are in the land of the down-under).
Since the bass is tuned in 5ths, I find I can remember the circle of fifths by visualizing the strings on an 8-string extended range bass (if such an actual instrument and tuning exist).
Key signatures for sharps:
1st string: C (no sharps)
2nd string: G (1 sharp)
3rd string: D (2 sharps)
4th string: A (3 sharps)
5th string: E (4 sharps)
6th string: B (5 sharps)
7th string: F# (6 sharps)
8th string: C# (7 sharps)
Key signatures for flats: First, drop (flat) all the strings 1/2 note and reverse the order.
1st string: Cb (7 flats)
2nd string: Gb (6 flats)
3rd string: Db (5 flats)
4th string: Ab (4 flats)
5th string: Eb (3 flats)
6th string: Bb (2 flats)
7th string: F (1 flat)
8th string: C (no flats) |
