Double Bass F Simandl Book 1? need help finding an exercise

Hello,

40 some years ago my teacher had me warm up on an exercise that started on C going up major then down minor landing on F (or maybe A) and going up and down a similar way through all the keys. I can't remember what book it was out of but for some reason Simandl sounds familiar. I'd love to find that exercise again but I can't find the Simandl books locally here in San Diego. Before I blindly order one can anyone help me find that exercise? Is it in Franz Simandl New Method Book 1?

thanks in advance

To answer your question directly, there is an exercise on page 83 in the Simandl Book 1.
I can show you the title of the exercise as it appears in the book. I’ll respect the copyright.
It lands on an F, and F major on the third line of the exercise, after C and A minor.
