Philly High D

Author: darryoboe

I'd be interested to know what experience folks on here have had with the Philly high D facilitator.

From what I can figure out, it simply closes the inner ring of the split-ring D key on a high D.

I've been playing around using the left-hand E-flat key (which does the same thing) and it DOES make the high D respond better when slurring to it from a lower note. The only danger is in having your finger depress the G# key as well which results in an E-Flat instead of a D. Obviously it's not going to be practical to use this key in all instances.

I'm trying to decide whether adding the Philly high D facilitator might be a worthwhile investment. It doesn't seem like a huge project so shouldn't be terribly expensive.
