Hi, I just bought a used 5v Miraphone 186 CC, and played around a little. I found that the 5th valve was, instead of a flat whole-step, was actually equivalent to a 2/3 combination. As flat whole-step is standard, it is very hard to find one without digging around. Although, I could map it out myself, I was just wondering if anyone had a chart that could be of use.
Thanks!
Play on!

Example #3 3/4 down the page should apply to your horn.

Jeepers! The trombone players have to see this!

I have seen that link before. It would be nice to see the same information presented like it would be in a book about playing an instrument. A note with a number under it, for example.

These are good starting points:

They come from here: http://mctuba.com/studio/fingerchart/finger.php

I've tried to learn C but after so many years it's hard to wrap your brain around the whole step difference, especially when you mainly play municipal band concerts.

there is one in the tips section at the top of the page

That chart is based on a 1-1/2 step 5th valve. The OP is looking for a chart with a >2 step 5th valve.

Nothing stopping you from doing that yourself. Air's fingering spreadsheet is about as accurate and flexible sheet as you will find anywhere.

And it stops at low E, leaving out most of the notes that employ the 5th valve.
