Subj: RE: [kl] Question about middle Bb
Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2004 13:58:47 -0400

The problem that I find with the "real" fingering is that it is too
immediate, has no resistance and has a thin tone. I much prefer the
resonance fingering of adding 3rd finger on Lh and Rh and the F/C to the
regular throat Bb fingering.
