Re: High G side fingering flat

The high F#, as well as the side key G are usually a bit flat on most clarinets. If the F# is low the G follows. I use the fork key, also known as the banana or sliver key, in the right hand for both of those fingerings when I need to. Of course there are many other fingerings for both those notes that are better in tune but sometimes the passage is easier when using that G fingering. Also, depressing the side throat tone G# key will raise the pitch of those notes. I need to do that for my high E which tends to be a bit flat on my clarinet. I have several good fingerings on my chart on my website if you're interested in checking the out. ESP http://eddiesclarinet.com
