The fourth and fifth valves on a bass saxhorn provide additional tonal flexibility and facilitate playing in lower registers. The fourth valve typically lowers the pitch by a whole step, allowing for greater ease in playing certain notes and improving intonation. The fifth valve often serves to further extend the instrument's range or provide alternative fingerings for specific notes, enhancing the overall versatility for the player.

Where are double bass scales played?

I think they are played in half, first and second position depending on which scale you're playing. Let the bass player answer. Scales are played in half, first, second, third, fourth, fifth and in fifth and a half positions, as well as the harmonic, depending on what scale you are doing and how many octives. If you are doing a one octave scale, it will most likely be all in first position and maybe in half position. If you are doing a two octave scale (or more), that is when you get into the higher positions, such as fourth, fifth and fifth and a half positions.

What is the interval between the cello and the double bass?

The interval between the cello and the double bass is a perfect fifth. The cello is typically tuned to C-G-D-A, while the double bass is tuned to E-A-D-G, which means that the lowest string of the cello (C) is a perfect fifth below the lowest string of the double bass (E). This interval helps to create a rich harmonic foundation in orchestral and chamber music settings.
