Re: Throat G to F# Advice Needed

"Interestingly I was at a masterclass (audience, not participating) Sharon Kam gave to Scottish Academy students, where she told one student that she uses the upper register trill key C# to avoid needing to break into the altissimo in certain passages where otherwise she wouldn't need to go into altissimo."

And also with the Bb (or lower) trill key or throat G# key (depending which has the best tuning) for a high D instead of going into the altissimo.

In the low register I very often use both trill keys with the throat A key for an isolated B instead of going over the break, and likewise for throat Bb to an isolated C as well.
