My question was more, since when we press the pistons we lower our "true pitch" a halftone down, what prevents someone who reaches a high F# to hit the next halftone by not pressing the darn piston? :)
Brem,
High G is an octave above the staff.
You are absolutely right in your thought train though. If one does not use force against the lips to press out the high F#, the high G will always come out as it is on the same partial - eventually with a thinner sound. Ab to double C should also come out, but all partials are not created equal!
