Does a fingering chart with all 4 tuba keys exist?
Hi all,
I’m looking for one fingering chart that displays all 4 tuba fingerings (BBb, CC, Eb, F). I think I’ve seen one before, but it was years ago, and my mind may be tricking me. If anyone out there knows of one, let me know!
Thanks,
Steve

Non-compensating BBb and Eb, or Compensating?bloke wrote:too many different valve set-ups
What tuning is the 5th valve?
How many valves 4? 5? 6?
I agree with Bloke, too many valve set-ups

There are fingering charts for 4 keys of her in the "Tips" section here on TubeNet. The are in the menu line at the top of the initial page of TubeNet. ^^^^^^^^sc_curtis wrote:I’m looking for one fingering chart that displays all 4 tuba fingerings (BBb, CC, Eb, F).

If you want all of them on the same chart, you are asking a different question. The charts here are separate charts. You could always print one and write the others in with a pencil. Or not.

Re: Does a fingering chart with all 4 tuba keys exist?
Thanks for the replies. I was hoping for a basic “1 chart does it all” situation for students wanting to explore tubas other than BBb. If it doesn’t exist, I’ll just make my own.
If you’re playing a 6-valve f, a 5-valve f tuba chart (where the 5th is a flat whole step) would still be helpful for someone new to f tuba as a starting point, right? I don’t think my question was that outrageous....

Has seperate charts for the keys. If you meant a fingering chart that has all keys of tuba on the same chart at the same time, then I don't know where to find one.

Progressive Techniques for Tuba by Donald Knaub, universalmusicpublishing.com covers most, but not all of the possibilities mentioned above for tubas in all four keys.

Re: Does a fingering chart with all 4 tuba keys exist?
I'm specifically looking for 1 single-page fingering chart that would have introductory fingerings for all 4 pitches of tubas (BBb, CC, Eb, and F). Similar to the fingering chart I'll link to down below, but with Eb and F as well. I'm just curious to see if anyone in the tuba community has come across this and point me in the right direction to save me some time. I was probably going to make my own anyway, but seeing the format may help me out.

Re: Does a fingering chart with all 4 tuba keys exist?
Yes, Norm is correct. The fingering charts on pages 16-20 of Knaub's book will answer most all of your questions.Norm in Bellevue wrote:Progressive Techniques for Tuba by Donald Knaub, universalmusicpublishing.com covers most, but not all of the possibilities mentioned above for tubas in all four keys.

Re: Does a fingering chart with all 4 tuba keys exist?
A chart with the two other keys should be easy to make. Once you have the staves and notes on the page, it is just a matter of putting the lined spaces below and filling them in with a word processor.sc_curtis wrote:I'm specifically looking for 1 single-page fingering chart that would have introductory fingerings for all 4 pitches of tubas (BBb, CC, Eb, and F).

Re: Does a fingering chart with all 4 tuba keys exist?
Have a look at this example he posted. It would be easy to tack Eb and F on the bottom of each line.pauvog1 wrote:Seems like a lot for 1 page. Is this including compensating vs non-compensating systems. There are lots of valve set ups involved for such a project. Why not just give them 4 separate charts? Seems like an all inclusive would be harder to use.
