The right index, middle, and ring nger behave exactly like in a trumpet,
here controlling what would be the valves . To compensate for the lack
of a brass embouchure, the le index nger key can be pressed to go
down by 5 semitones. The le middle and ring nger keys are almost
always held to allow for a stable posture.
To sum up, from the base posi on (press only the le middle and n-
ger keys), pressing or releasing other keys will add or subtract a given
amount of semitones from the base C pitch:
− Le hand
– pressing the le index nger key : -5 (embouchure)
– li ing either the le middle or ring nger key , or pressing the
le pinky key : +1 (non-cumula ve)
− Right hand
