I've read much about the hows and whys on this subject but still dont know definitively if my Allora 4 rotary valve BBb tuba is compensating or non-compensating. I just want to know how to tell so I can download the proper fingering chart :-)

Welcome to the forum!
I'm not aware of any compensating rotary valve tuba on the market today so I'm guessing you're is not.
Play a D with 12. Then play the same note in the same octave with 124. The pitch would not change of you have a compensating horn.Dave Werden (ASCAP)

Dave's right about this.
