Hi everybody, I need some help in regards to High c-sharp fingering, as the 2 that I have found are both...awful, as in horribly horribly sharp and incredibly 'airy' , whereas the D just above is absolutely fine.
These are the two that I have tried, as recommended by ABRSM...:
TP 1/2 hole, x x | x o o
TP 1/2 hole, x x | x o x , C/C sharp key
where x is covered hole and o is uncovered, and TP is thumbplate.
I can get them in tune, but I have to slacken my jaw so much that wrecks every other note.
I am also open to the possibility that it is just my oboe being ridiculous, as on my Cor Anglais both the above fingerings are absolutely fine. In this respect it could be that it is because I'm using a Howarth S2 open-hole model, which could affect the tuning somewhat...
Any help would be much appreciated!!
