Great sound and power on those top notes!

Something I need to do a lot of work on is to get more fullness in the upper part of the upper register.

I must admit I tend to cheat on the C-D-C triplets by using the D trill key - or is it cheating? If it's an isolated and a fast D and the rest of the phrase is in the lower register, I'll more often than not use the D trill for these isolated Ds instead of using the full fingering - probably a throwback to being a sax player and using the palm keys for isolated Ds.
