Does anyone have some decent fingerings for notes above C7 for the soprano clarinet--be it an outside resource or one on the bboard I've missed?
A thourough but not exhaustive search of the bboard did not connect me to such info.
Clearly, this "controlled squeaking," as featured in works like Bekavac's Carmen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrS-CanzAtU isn't as easy as simply laying down the right fingers. Taking in rediculous amounts of mouthpiece/bee's wax/bighting ...I get it, the rules are there are no rules here.

Check with David Pino's book "The Clarinet and Clarinet Playing" for a few fingerings above super C.
Does Robert Spring not have some ideas on super sonic notes?
Hope you aren't playing something that needs those notes ...!
As a kid, I could play reliably to F-sharp above super C ... but I used a #9 reed and bit like an alligator.
Too old now ... I'll stay below high G, thank-you.

Page 174 in the "Cambridge Companion to the Clarinet" in the section on the contemporary clarinet by Roger Heaton gives a chart of fingerings from C'''' to G'''' best of luck with those.

Ridenour, Sim and Opperman fingering books all have numerous choices above C7.

I have an app on my iPhone called Woodwinds that has fingerings on multiple instruments. I've been using it to learn my high altissimos on clarinet. It has several alternates for each one, I've managed now to get up to D7 and it goes up to A7.
