I think the creators of this website should really add brass instrument fingering charts. I'm sure the brass players feel left out.

I totally agree, Gnomon. The fact that many brass instruments share the same fingerings is probably the reason.

I agree and disagree. Brass fingering are very forulaic, in the way that middle valve lowers a semitone, first lowers a whole tone, and that the harmonics get closer together as you go up the instrument. But alternative fingerings to flatten/sharpen notes do exist (like plaing a sharp top G 1+2 instead of 0). One could argue that they are easy to work out, but then again, so could many woodwind fingerings.
