It never hurts to have a sharp upper register as it forces you to keep
an open embouchure and consequently an open tone as you open up to keep
the pitch down. Many players find themselves pinching to get the high
notes when, in my experience, it only takes an adjustment in the throat
similar to singing falsetto.

What does anyone else say about that last statement? (Tony P. this one
is for you. I've been meaning to ask you this for a long time)
