Extreme altissimo

I have a fingering chart getting up to F above double high C ("F7"?). Anyone have a chart going higher? Just something to fool around with.

I believe Allen Sigel has a good fingering chart for extended range and modern techniques.

Tom,
There is probably one somewhere on this site. If I recall correctly, GBK used to keep them updated. Try https://www.wfg.woodwind.org/clarinet/cl_alt_4.html
Regards,
Hans

No problem Tom.

Now that we know that the link I provided just prior is what you were looking for, here's the base link that leads you to all the fingerings, one of which being the just previously provided link.

Hi Tom. Here's what I currently use. Work in progress. Some of these fingerings are slightly different between my R13 Bb and A instruments, and it seems likely that different fingerings will work better with specific instruments, setups and players.

As always, confidence, fluency and sound diminish toward the upper end of one's range, but practice extends it all.

F7 - TO G# x x x | x x x

F#7 - TO G# x x x | x o x Eb

G7 - TO o x o B | T1 o o x

G#7 - O o x o B | T12 o x o
(no l. thumb)

A7 - TO G# x o x B | x o x

Bb7 - TO x x x | x x o Eb

B7 - TO o x x B | o o x Eb

C8 - TO o x x |o x x C#

C#8 TO G# x x x B | x x x Eb

Philip,

Many thanks, I've copied these down.
What does T1 mean on R.H. for the G7
and T12 R.H. for G#7?
Oh, I think side trill keys?
