B♭ Trumpet
F5 on the B♭ Trumpet
Written F5 — sounds concert E♭5. Tap the diagram to hear it.
Sixth partial with valve 1, two semitones below open G5. The 6th partial runs slightly sharp, so F5 usually needs no help from the first valve slide even where F4 does. From here up the slots are close together, and accuracy comes from hearing the note before playing it.
