My little old Conn Eb has some tremendous false tones below the A natural, starting with Ab and descending chromatically to the fundamental. Very usable, too, and easily accessible. This is the first tuba on which I noticed the phenomenon, maybe out of necessity because it only has three valves. On the horns with five and six valves we can use all kinds of combinations to produce these tones, but on some horns they may have a more full and resonant sound when played as a "false tone." Food for thought!
