This is a chart of all possible fingerings on any typical 3 or 4 valve non-transposing (Treble Clef) brass instrument. Typical 4 valve non-transposing instruments include the Piccolo Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Bass Wagner Tuba, and Euphonium.

Fingerings beginning with T are for "triggered" fingerings such as on the Bb French Horn. You can use these for quick transposition between popular keys. Examples: Bb horn > F music, Eb horn > Bb music, F horn > C music. Octave adjustments may be required.

The Wagner Tuba and French Horn are written an octave higher than they're built and use fingerings from the octave above. This means that instead of starting on Low C, you start on Middle C to play a default Concert F scale.

Some low brass instruments, namely Tubas and Bass Trombone, may have double pedal tones which are playable. Not all instruments feature double pedal tones. Trumpets and Cornets do not have pedal tones and cannot (properly) play any note below low F# without a fourth valve and/or additional slide adjustments.
