Any suggestions how to play the high F on a Selmer sopranino, that only has keys to e-flat, while a lot of alternate fingerings use the RSK3, that is not present here.

You might try the regular F fingering with the middle LH finger off or with the Bb key pressed. As I recall, a fingering like this works on the bass sax with keys to Eb. My Selmer soprannino goes to high F#. Anything above a high D is not easy to play in tune and tends to be sharp even though the keys are adjusted for a minimum height. After all the tube is only about 5 or 6 inches long. Good luck!

Are u sure its a Selmer?!?
I know Yanagisawa makes a sopranino with only a high Eflat, but i didnt know about Selmer making one like that.
