Re: throat tones

You must "vent" the throat notes to improve their sound--these are the fingerings that I use all the time:

Ab: Ab 00X/X00

A: A 0XX/000 LH B/E

A#: TA 0XX/000 LH B/E

And, often to improve the clarity of "open" G: 000/XX0 (works on my LeBlanc Concertos)

Another "trick" to improve a softly played B4: traditional fingering plus open A key.

Also, to improve that "breathy" alto sax C#5, try 000/XX0. Adding these fingers also improves C5 as well ( 0X0/XX0). Good clar/saxing!!!!!!
