I generally use the 4th valve as an alternate fingering for low D (1,3) 
and with the 2nd valve (2,4) instead of the 1,2,3 C# fingering.

It can also be used as an alternate for the low G (1,3) if the 
intonation is better.

I can't imagine using it in the upper register, but anything is possible.



The little horns are a little on the slippery side for intonation, so I 
suggest you find the mind set that you will blow it in tune.  It's not 
going to be as close as your big horn without adjustments.
