You CAN'T make a chart for that sucker. You just have to figure it out and let it fly! If you've never played a Vienese style F, MOST of the fingeting goes on in the LEFT hand, as valves 1 & 2 are on the left side. 3rd valve is RH 1, 4th valve RH 3, 5th valve is LH 3 and 6th valve is RH 2. The 5th valve is a SHORT whole tone, which makes the 1st valve g right in tune; 6th valve is a normal LONG 1/2 step. The thing is the Dehmal has a GREAT sound, somewhere in between an F and a tenor.
