Yes the fingerings are the same as CC tuba, but juxtaposed
up an octave. It's weird using 4th valve in the staff.
Below the staff, things get interesting. All six valves are
needed in the lower registers. Pitch is not really a large
problem. Although, I am one of those weird people who believe
that instruments only have tendencies - people play out of tune.
If you have any other questions, shoot me an email.
Oh, I believe the final tally for the instrument/bag and the overseas
shipping/customs was around $1,300 - $1,400. Not a bad deal.
