Hey does anyone here know a site that offers a free fingering chart for a 4 valve compensating euphonium in the bass clef?

There's a pretty good chart on Jeffrey Funderburk's site coverying both non-comp and compensating. Scroll down to see the one for 'compensating'.

Thanks, that kinda just gives you the optional fingerings from what it looks like. anything else?

Btw im confused here, can someone help me out please.........

which fingerings are altered when moving to a compensating euph. Do i have to completely change some fingerings even if they dont use the 4th valve?........I just thought everything was the same as a 3 valve except you can use different combinations with the 4th valve ...........

With a 4 valve non-comp the fingering depends on how you set your slides. i.e.
