F tuba fingering chart for 6 valved tuba

TUBAMUSICIAN87 · Post by **TUBAMUSICIAN87** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 1:45 pm

I know theres one on here but only goes to 5 valves. and what does the 6th valve act as on an F tuba, I know on most CC's the fifth is a flat whole step but what does the sixth do?

I think that most 6 valve F tubas are configured like my Rudy:

Fifth valve: Flat Whole Step
Sixth valve: Flat Half Step

Hope this helps....

Most 6-valve F's have a flat half-step sixth.

But F tubas vary a lot. I have two five-valve F tubas, and in the low register they require substantially different fingerings. You just have to experiment to find the fingerings that work best.
