Fingering chart pass 2 Bb.

I'm trying to see how low I can play. Currently it is 2 Bb's below the staff. I can't try to go any lower because I have been unable to find a fingering chart that goes lower. If some one knows where I can get one or can tell me some fingerings I'd be very happy.

Thanks,
Benjamin.

You've hit the fundamental note of your horn (I'm assuming you play a BBb). Just play the same fingerings as the octave above.

Best of luck.

I think I get what y'all are saying, so like for the A natural it would be 2 cause that is what it is a octive higher. And G would be 1,2. I got the idea right?

I know on my old horn (BBb) once I got down to the second Eb below the staff I skipped a fingering using 1-2-4 for low Eb and the C below that 1-2-3-4, but my low B natural I had to use the false tone with 1-2. Does anyone else use the false tone to reach certain notes?

On my CC, I've always used the false tone to reach the Db (1-2 with the 1st slide about halfway out, same as the B natural on bigboom's BBb). For the notes "in between", try 2-3-4 for the D, 1-3-4 with the 1st slide about halfway out for the Db, and 1-2-3-4 with the 1st slide way out for the C.
