RC resonance fingering

i'm discovering my way around a 1978 Buffet RC A clarinet, and i've found an amazing resonance fingering for open G (previously i've never used such fingerings on G as they haven't worked on my other Clarinets).
If you're interested- the 2nd and 3rd fingers of the right hand (without little finger on the f/c key or any left hand fingers) work a treat. A fuller, more resonant sound that matches A and Bflat well, with the pitch lowered just a few cents, and the resistance matches "lower upper reg" tones well in legato situations.
This may or may not work on other clarinets or for other players, and many of you will of course not be interested. However i thought it was worth posting as i don't recall seeing this suggested anywhere in the extensive clarinet literature i've read over the years...
keep playing the good tunes
