If your G contra plays transposed notated treble clef as middle c one ledger line below the staff as open, then any fingering chart for treble clef brass will work, including trumpet/cornet/flugel and euphonium/baritone treble clef.

The fingering works just like trumpet. middle C is 'low C' in Bass clef it reads just like CC tuba, its all just gonna sound a bit low.

With one ledger line difference: the low open C in treble clef notation is the first ledger line below the treble clef; the open CC for CC tuba, concert pitch bass clef below the staff is two ledger lines below the bass clef.

Hey, Hope it's not too late...
Check out Dynasty's site...I think it should work for the GG bugle...http://www.dynastyband.com/graphics/bug ... rchart.pdf

Cool, good to see that you guys got it straightened out.

ebarr, what horn do you have? The last big 3-valve GG Dynasty that I played worked best with a Conn Helleberg (my PT-50 made its tuning issues even worse).
