Re: Flat high G (1st finger + sliver)

Philip: I think the original post must have meant the LH key. I just tried fingering G6 as described with either of the sliver keys (on a Buffet), and the version with the RH key wasn't anywhere close to being up to pitch. But the one with the LH key is quite good in terms of pitch and a smooth slightly covered sound - certainly feels like it could be a good option for pp entries up there, even if not so practical for fast passages.

Your suggestion for using the RH sliver to sharpen F6 is a good one, although on my Buffets I find that note is not so bad with the standard fingering - and if I want it a little sharper then the long fingering delivers that for me. But on the Selmer Prestige, the standard F is still too low even with your RH trick.
