I can do that right here, having played in concert or at least experimented with almost all of these systems. Pitch names are based (pun intended) on a BBb instrument playing American conventional concert pitch bass clef notation.
I didn't mean each of those examples on its own, I meant in combination with each other. So like, if you had a 3-valve tuba and you added a 2-piston set from a G bugle, or if you had a 3-valve compensating set and added a 4th valve (which was the original premise of this thread).


I mostly play the slidey thing.
