Hi from England,
This particular Highams is not compensating, so the 4th valve offers easier fingering but not quite the lower pitch required.
The 5th. offers another set ( same interval as the 2nd. valve ) but with a better sound as the bore by this time is at its largest for the valve section.
Many notes in the middle and higher register are better on 5th. valve.
Regards, Charley.
