 Re: Squeak on moving from open G up to high E

This is really interesting now. I figured out some stuff that might be useful for others in the same situation.

I'm trying to do three legato jumps: E4->C5, then F4 -> C5, then G4 - > E5

If my embouchure is wrong (not pulled in enough at the sides) then I get a silence between notes and a clear break in the vibration of the air column on the first two transitions (E4->C5, then F4 -> C5), and a shriek (overtone) when I play the third transition (G4 - > E5).

If I pull my embouchure in at the sides and get the fingering right then I get the good legato transition on all three.

If I get the embouchure right and the fingering wrong on the first set (E4 -> C5) then I get a smooth legato transition like this:

E4 -> F3 -> C5. This is because my left thumb is not pressing the register key quite quickly enough so I go down from E4 to F3, before then going up to C5. The interesting thing is that there is no silence between the notes, and no break in the vibrating air column. It just smoothly progresses through the three notes in perfect legato. So that's a really clear way to tell if it is the embouchure or the fingering that is the problem, when trying to explain to someone else.

Thanks so much for all of your help on this. I'm so pleased to be making progress.
