![]() ![]() But you're still reading music that was transcribed for an F instrument. If you have a double horn, then what happens is when you press the thumb valve, your no-valve notes will now be based on Bb. (Me, I often get screwed up because my main axe is trombone, so I'm always thinking of harmonics of Bb, not C. So if you think of the harmonics as being based on written C, you're laughing. But like a Bb trumpet part, the written C will be no valves. If you have a basic F horn, the music will be written so that a written C plays a concert F. So then the only thing is, what kind of transposing is going on? Euphoniums and tubas often have 4th or 5th or sometimes even 6th valves to get some notes better in tune, but I'm not as familiar with those. ![]() I explained what a fourth (thumb) valve on a double horn does above.
