Euphonium Fingering Chart

Fingering chart for the four-valve euphonium. Parts come in two notations: treble clef in B♭ (common in brass and wind bands), sounding a major ninth lower than written, and bass clef, sounding as written. The valve combinations are the same either way – use the chart that matches your part. Tap a note name to hear it.

The fourth valve replaces 1·3 with better intonation (1·3 tends to be sharp). Notes below low C (bass clef C2, treble clef D3) need the fourth valve. On a three-valve instrument, read fourth-valve fingerings as 1·3.

Looking up every note of a piece in a chart is slow. Yubioto reads a photo or PDF of your sheet music, puts the fingering under each note and plays the melody back. Free, no account, nothing to install.

Frequently asked questions

Is euphonium music in treble or bass clef?

Both exist. Brass bands and many wind bands use treble clef in B♭; orchestral parts and method books often use bass clef at concert pitch. This page gives both.

When do I use the fourth valve?

Instead of 1·3 for better intonation, and for the low register (roughly B1 to E♭2 in bass clef), which cannot be played without it.

Do baritone and tenor horn use the same fingerings?

The B♭ baritone uses exactly the same fingerings. The E♭ tenor horn uses the same valve patterns but sounds at a different pitch.

Are the fingerings the same as trumpet?

For treble-clef parts, yes – the valve combinations match the trumpet. The euphonium sounds an octave lower and adds a fourth valve.
