I'm looking for the same word since I am a violin teacher; we use four fingers on the fingerboard so all would mean four. I could say: "Keep both, the first and second finger, on the fingerboard" or "Keep all (meaning all four) fingers on the fingerboard" Maybe you could say: "Keep thri, the first, second and fourth finger, on the finger board..."
