I first learned Sp. Th oxo|ooo Ab/Eb for F# (and it's very nearly fair to describe this as "open"). But when I started using an R13 it was immediately clear that this fingering was unusably flat compared to the surrounding notes. At first I thought I had a bad instrument, but after trying other examples and talking to people, I concluded it was just the way R13s were. I've never had information on RCs, but it wouldn't be surprising if they shared this behaviour. But Chris P's overblown Bb (Sp. Th. xxo | side Eb/Bb ooo) is a beautiful note on the R13 - in tune and stable, so you can do pp entries using it with confidence. I've recently started using different instruments where the "proper" F# is in tune, and now I miss the R13 fingering, which no longer works :(
