Re: Sharp E on English Horn

Thanks Chris, I'll try the B key tomorrow. (I find the stretch to the C# key rather awkward and am not over keen to use it more than I have too).

Can I ask you another question?
Is there an ideal height (or a way of determining the ideal height) for the thumb rest on the Cor anglais? I have just unscrewed the original one and put an adjustable one on because I had the impression that the thumb rest was too high - after playing for a while the outside of my wrist was painful. However, lowering the thumb rest merely moves the pain to the thumb joint itself. I am considering having the thumb rest moved when I have the cor serviced - if only I knew where to move it too.
