Yes, The right thumb is NOT on the Bb key, but it is alternately on a better
key, the low F# key. That always allows even the high b4 note to have the
low Eb key added to the fingering for resonance. (when I used to use the
RThumb Bb key, instead, I always had to avoid using the low Eb key or the
note would be even more sharp in pitch. Sincerel, Gerald Corey, Ottawa
