Subj: Re: [kl] over the break
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 14:20:41 -0400

just to point out a few things

<It seems to me that the term also applies to the saxophone with the first
<practical "break" occuring between open c#'' and (clarion?) d'' (though it is
<possible to play Bb', b' and c" as clarion notes). As far as where the
second
<break occurs, theoretically, it would seem to be between a" and Bb". Where
is
<it practically? You tell me. Many saxophones now go up to f#''' (and some
as
<high as g''') without requiring the player to cross the second "break" (I
<don't hang out much in that range, though. I am one of those low-lifes who
<taught himself to play sax in a couple of hours ;^) and has never gone on to
<master those nuances).

on Saxophone the second register is not called the clarion(clarion is
a term used exclusivley for the second register in clainets). Also,
fingering the second octave of the notes C#,C, B, Bb, with your low pinkey
keys while compressing the octave key produces poor tone on those notes. The
other notes are much more prefferable. -thanks
