Re: Change of fingering on the same note

Or like on oboe/cor playing when using a harmonic fingering instead of the usual short fingering for a different tone colour (and more stability and substance when played at pp) eg. upper register A played as 8ve2 xxx|xxx instead of the usual 8ve2 xxo|ooo.

Do many clarinet players overblow the B over the break for an alternative G? Though a lot of the overblown upper register notes between fingered B and Eb (as alternatives to the upper notes in te upper register) aren't the best for tuning, though they are useful in certain instances to make fast passages easier, especially when it does away with crossing the break from the altissimo down to the upper register for sake of a few notes, and keping the tone colour the same.
