FWIW, when I had my Yamaha YFB-621 (same horn in F), I could play low Bb pretty close to being in tune with 1-2-4 if I wanted to avoid the fifth valve in a technical passage. I would figure that on the CC version, the comparable low F would work out more or less in tune with the same fingering. If you pushed the first slide all the way in for that note (I had a ring on mine), it would probably be easily lippable if it was not quite up to pitch already.
