Re: F# too loud

I had the G above your F# pop out on my R13/16-1/2. It was unmanageble and drove me nuts.

After its rebuild at Muncy Winds and a new barrel, that whole section of the horn is better balanced --with no notes that stick out. Its a great relief to be able to play that range of the instrument without compensating note-by-note (and never being quick enough to really make it work).

Now, I'm playing a Rose etude that drops repeatedly to C#4. That note is really resonant. It rings and adds a neat fillup to the notes. I'm just going to let it go and see what teach has to say about that this morning (if I can keep my fingers from getting tangled up and ruining the whole effect.)
