Re: High Note Trouble

Someone reminded me I did not say "how high". I would say C5 to C6 range. Also my seldom playing notes that high may be part of he problem...just need more practice. Sometimes I forget how to finger them. Had to look up fingering for an Eb5 the other day for I forgot how to form it. Usually play the lower register and not nearly enough of the higher I believe.
After reading all this I think a stiffer reed and more high note practice is what I need. I also notice I have been playing sitting in a desk chair with arms and found that definitely interferes because of tendency to rest arms on the chair. I do better in a folding chair so arms are free. Easier to support the instrument. Live and learn.
