Between is where the note becomes so sharp that it is in fact unusable, so it goes to 1 -2 -4 which is a somewhat flat D#. If you look at your chart, E1 is listed as 2 - 4, but you have D#1 as 1 - 2 - 4. However if you already have the 1st valve engaged, the 2nd valve doesn't quite lower it a half step. The 2nd valve lowers pitch by a half step, and the first valve lowers pitch by a whole step. Each valve lowers the pitch from the open horn by a certain amount, but when you add more than one together, they don't quite make enough. The more valves you push down, the sharper the instrument will get. For C1 above it you've already got all 4 valves pushed down. You would need a 5th Valve or a long 1st slide pull to play B0 in tune. Have I made any important errors on the chart?.I know this is subjective, but how much of this range would you expect a complete novice to achieve after a week, a month, a year, 10 years? Again I know this is a how-long-is-a-piece-of-string type question but maybe the teachers among you can give me a vague ball park estimate, based on your experience. Notes outside this range I coloured black but I realise that the real range of the instrument is dictated by many factors, the most important of which seems to be the ability and experience of the player.
