Re: Dusapin 'If' high d#

If you mean D#7, that's a little more resistant on my R13s than adjacent notes, but it's "there" and eventually can become reliable. I usually finger it

T/O o x x ! x o x

Slowly play D7 and E7 and try to fit the D# in between. The voicing that works for all three will become evident. Great and terrible force is not necessary. Try for a sweet, silvery sound.

Lower teeth might help on a single note, but I don't do it in this range. Once you set lower teeth to reed, the position and force of those will dominate the result, with embouchure, tongue position and even fingering being secondary. It's very tricky to control, especially if you want a nice controlled sound.
