Dave, sorry, I don't get what you describe about Stan at all. Especially in the context of what was clearly a light-hearted (and amusing) April Fool's thread. Your response seems not just off-topic, but a bit dissonant to the topic.

Ease in the altissimo range is indeed affected by the setup combination and how it is used. I'm curious as to which etude books you are referring to. "Putting in the work" is, to me, the main thing needed. Long tones, harmonics, scales, thirds, octaves. And fiddling with fingerings. While outside instruction and etudes could likely help in gaining reliability and ease in altissimo, in my opinion they are not absolutely necessary.

Finally, anyone who follows unchecked advice from unknown sources is probably going to learn a different lesson. This forum is a valuable resource, and I'm grateful many times over for things I've learned here, but it should be obvious that someone oughtn't jump in green and take some random post as gospel.
