high G# and A on Eb clarinet

Hi everyone,

I'm working up Shostakovich 10 on Eb, and it has reminded me that while I am generally quite comfortable on the instrument, I have always struggled to produce high G and G# in tune and not flat. And high A has been a 'teeth on reed' only note. I did find a cool altissimo fingering chart of E.Michael Richard's that shows up to G#, and 1 past posting here, but does anyone have any ideas?

I use a Buffet R13 with a Richard Hawkins mouthpiece, a Rovner ligature, and cut-down Vandoren traditional Bb clarinet reeds.

Thanks a lot,

Peter
