Also, I noticed that for those of you who can't do a low G to B natural
tremolo, finger low G, then lift fingers 4 and 5 up for low B natural.
Sometimes it's weird to lift one 4 and 6, because 5 wants to go up too. One
of my students can't do this tremolo, unless he lifts 4&5. And it is actually
IN TUNE on his horn and mine. That was a real shocker, because I don't think
it was in tune on my previous R-13 or Yamaha. But also, it's a tremolo, so it
doesn't have to be perfectly in tune, only close (another example would be
high B to D tremolo, where you overblow throat G to get D). I'm just amazed
that my student's Normandy and my Opus can do this tremolo in tune (G to B
natural, that is). Another use for the ring over finger 6.
