Help with Eb clarinet

Author: Eju1011

heyy everybody,

So, a couple months back, during the summer, i performed Carmina Burana with my youth orchestra. And i had the the part that doubled on the Eb clarinet. Since then, I've been playing the Eb in other youth honor ensembles and stuff, and my tone and intonation on the effer's great. Except for hitting a high altissimo E, i can hit every other note all the way up to a ridiculously high C and have spot on intonation, except for that one E. When i would play long sustained notes, i would play the E by fingering a G/C, and adding the throat tone G# sidekey, and it would come in tune very well. The problem is that with runs going up to an E i can't use that fingering it sounds extremely flat, anybody have some advice on hitting that note in tune? Thanks a bunch!
