Re: Resonance fingerings and overblowing

@kdk and Wes, I can bring them more or less up to pitch on my Prestiges, but they definitely sit on the low side with a neutral embouchure/voicing (especially as you go up.) My main point is that they are easier to play in tune and sit higher when using the throat tone resonance fingerings. Perhaps I will record a short video later demonstrating the effect.

@Tony Pay and Dibbs, that's very interesting about early instruments and Tarogatos! I'd never thought about the possibility of using "resonance fingerings" in the chalumeau register of the basset clarinet, but it makes a lot of sense. I'd be curious to try it if I ever have the opportunity to play a basset clarinet.
