On your 104, and most other tubas with small bells, the false tones (that the other guys explained and correctly offered excellent fingering choices for) don't work so well. They "might" work, but you will really have to BLOW and FOCUS on a small-belled tuba to make those false tones work, even "sort of". Sorry, but I don't have any more advice to offer. They DO work GREAT on sousas and other BIG belled tubas....(?)
