Something I noticed a short while ago: it seems that the Ab key acts similar to a second register key but slightly out of pitch. I don’t have have a tuner so I can’t see which note I end up playing. Does anyone know what happens here?

What about when you add fingers? I can finger the any key above G2 and below G3 (which use the register key) and then add the Ab key to higher the pitch. I don’t think that they are all high D.

What?

edit: Oh, I now see what you mean.
If you're doing this with notes below the top 'break', then it just sharpens the note as I explained in the post I linked to.
But, there's not much point in doing that, as you can't add fingers to correct it. (You could use it to get quarter tones, I suppose.)
However, there are fingerings for C#, D and D# that are in tune using the Ab key plus added fingers, and that's what I thought you were talking about.

What is G2? All I know is that's where a white pawn would be located

You can use the throat G# key to help altissimo E.
