 Re: Slurring to top D

I had the same problem on my old Loree and 1st Covey.

John Mack (Mack Camp circa 1981) showed me what he did.

Quickly lift the LH first finger, then return it to half-hole position.

The return to close the half-hole solves the pitch problem.

Its a very quick and gentle motion with practice and introduces no blips or pops, etc.

That brings me to 99% reliability on all performance quality reeds going to high D.

My newer Covey has the high-D Philly facilitator mechanism, and I LOVE it.

Its 99% w/o further interference, but if needed, the same trick makes it 100%.

Mack suggested starting with A - D slurs, then moving up and down toe scale to master it from other notes.
