Well, you can try the S=C3=BCssmayr concerto fragment which apparently =
goes
up to super C ... :-)

For multiphonics it makes a difference for example to the dyads sounded
by adding undertones to normal upper-register notes -- e.g. on Bb, the
low note is an F instead of F#. This is also true of Steve Fox's NX and
Nexus clarinets...

You could also try the Berio sequenza, of course, and see if you can get
those multiphonics as written -- apparently basset clarinet is a nice
alternative to full-Boehm for getting those notes :-)
