Re: Altissimo F# on Eb

The clarinet is an older Selmer. I tried the suggested fingerings and rmk54's works but is harder to do in a fast passage. I did find that adding the first two fingers of the right hand without the side key works pretty well, at least today. LOL

So TR XX0 XX0 Ab/Eb. It is still slightly on the flat side but I think I can lip up. The problem is the lower and mid range run very sharp. I am using the longest of three barrels that were in the case to get the rest of the notes closer, in tune but the altissimo is of course naturally flat. This is the opposite of my R13, which runs sharp, even in the altissimo (although F# is always flat).

RMK, I had thought about that part being tutti. If all else fails I'll take the E and F# down an octave and play the rest as written. It is more of a personal challenge to get it right.
