In theory, open is the right fingering, but I can't even get out the note. I can hit it with 13...

I play double high c with first valve while others play it open, 2nd, or even 3rd. I personally think to play in those registers with a clear, strong and well-defined sound, one must play on their particular equipment and find which fingerings most help them acheive their "sound". Hope this helps.
Well, yes, but also about tuning. In Rubank's method, he gives out some fingerings from high C to the F above it with preferred tuning (C# is 2, D is open, etc). That's all I was asking.
