 Re: Forked F

If you watch some pro players, they tend to avoid the forked F fingering wherever possible and use the keyed or LH F key fingerings instead. But some places you will have to use the forked F and further vent it with the RH Eb key.

It's the nature of the beast.

I designed a forked F vent that had the vent tonehole in the same location as the E tonehole (RH finger 3 tonehole) in an attempt to give the same venting as the keyed fingerings for F, but it didn't work as well in practice. Nothing ventured, nothing gained - and nothing was gained.
