Bass Clarinet F#

Author: geek

A Bass Clarinet problem:

My F# at the top of the first register sounds dead. It's fine when I play it in the alternate fingering (thumb plus side key)... but the single finger F# is pretty muted and needs a lot more air to get anywhere.

In the past when I've had this problem, I've just pryed open the F(thumb) key a little more and that seems to help. But I'm a little more cautious these days about bending my horn out of shape. Suggestions?
