sorry if people have discussed this before but does anyone have a fingering chart for altenative fingerings more applicable to the altissimo register in the eflat soprano clarinet?
i am aware that there are some alternatives particular to the instrument

Peter Hadcock's excerpts book for e-flat has the most comprehensive chart of USEFUL fingerings for the e-fl. that I have come across. I highly recommend it.

The Hadcock book is excellent, and I use it a lot. However, all of the fingerings from Bb should work about the same on Eb. Frequently, problems with pitch (generally flatness) occur due to reeds being too soft, or poor mouthpieces. My Eb tunes almost exactly the same as my Bb up to the top of the range.
