| Could I ask what is the piece you're in love with?
Rdt, is it kind of like after you hit a certain point, the sound cuts off altogether, or does it sound like chipmunk trumpet *It sounds high, but you know it really isn't*?
I have hit a third octave F only about three times, but I am really practicing on the Clarke advanced (Ninth study is BWEH!), so maybe I can start owning the F (But probably not, heh).
I have been meaning to try doing what an old trumpet player told me he did to improve his range. He would start on the very last note he could hit comfortably, and hold it at a comfortable dynamic. He would then slowly increase the dynamic, until he was at forte to fortissimo, and then he would go up a half step, decresendoing then. He would do that until he could hit that increment change consistantly, and then could hit that note without hitting the prior note. He would then do the same exercise, starting on the new comfort note to him.
