The multiphonics books that I have, and personal experience backs this
up, make mention that given fingerings may give different results due to
variations in mouth pieces, reeds, ligatures, instruments, one's
personal air column, the weather, etc., so it's not surprising to me
that you got the results you did. Depending on one's adeptness in the
multiphonic realm, it's even possible to get varying results with the
same fingerings from moment to moment.

Bruce Hunter
