6th valve uses:
1 F# (at the bottom of the staff 64 or 613 )
2 low B (2 ledgers below the staff - 64 )
3 low A ( 564 )
4 low Ab ( 6234 )
5 low G ( 56 34 )
6 low F ( 5[pulled]61234 )
7 low Eb ( 62 )
8 high Db (above the staff 613 )
9 alternate high C (Vaughn Williams C-Db trill 62 ...2 for Db )
10 & 11...12?? whatever I forgot...

Without the 6th valve, I would feel like I could only use my F tuba for oompah band or dixieland gigs, because of all of the intonation compromises I would be forced to make.
