On one Bb Rossi: Altissimo G, fingered 1 - 3/1 -3/Pinky Eb (a standard) -
very stuffy, uncentered response. No way to lock the note in.

On another Bb Rossi: C# just above the staff (second ledger) - same problem.

High F# on the third Bb tried: same problem.

These were alarming to me because the notes are frequently used (unlike a
high Bb or B or C) - therefore, I was frustrated.

Hope this helps?

Best wishes,
Roger Garrett
