Your equipment has a major impact on being able to hit the super-high notes. I made changes in my equipment which help overall playing, but make C7 weak and anything above it nearly impossible. For me, it was a good tradeoff.

Rideour Libertas (formerly Vandoren pre-R13)
Vandoren M30 (formerly Leblanc refaced)
Legere Signature (not European) 3.25 (formerly Canyes 4 or Gonzales FOF 3.5) - this has the biggest impact on the super-high notes. The switch to Legere has drastically reduced the time for reed maintenance.
