Hello all, I don't recommend leaving right thumb off a high b4 anytime. A
much better alternate high b4 fingering is: <LH 1, 2, 0 low Eb key * LT high
b/c key /RH 1, 2, 0 low F * RT F# key> That fingering made high b's in many
orchestral passages sound perfectly in tune with violins, other woodwinds
and brass. Gerald Corey, Ottawa
