The horn spans four plus octaves depending on the player and uses both the treble and bass clefs. In this chart, only the most desired fingerings are given and it is assumed the player is using a double-horn with F and Bb sides. The number 1 indicates that the index-finger valve should be depressed, the number 2 indicates that the middle-finger valve should be depressed and the number 3 indicates that the ring-finger valve should be depressed. There are eight possible valve combinations among the first, second and third valves: 0, 1, 2, 3, 1-2, 1-3, 2-3, and 1-2-3. Bb-side fingerings are indicated by the letter T. One depresses the thumb key to use the Bb side of the horn.
