High-Range Fingering Chart

adonis74 · 03-25-2007, 01:00 AM

I've been working on the high notes, above high C, etc., but can't find any fingering chart that goes any higher than about E, F, or G.

Does anyone know of a fingering chart for notes up to double High C, etc.?

Or, do people just let the chops find the notes and leave the valves open up there in the stratosphere?

74,

Don't know about most people, but I just use the same fingering as if the note was on the staff. High C open, D-1, E-open, F-1, G-open, etc.

Works for me.

I agree, same fingerings as an octave below. Sometimes A works a little better for me 2nd valve only, but I have a break around there. I don't like playing higher than a G# anyway. If anyone wants stuff higher than that they should work on their arranging skills!

C=0, C#=2, D=0, Eb=2, E=0, F=1, F#=2, G=0, G#=23, A=12, Bb=1, B=2, C=0. Above double C you can push just about any valve that you want. It makes sense to keep the fingerings the same as an octave or 2 lower so you don't get harmonically lost in one of the clouds up there!

In general I would suggest that the same fingering as the octave below, but if you find that some of those don't work for you, try something else - frankly, if you are of a standard where you are exploring above F/G, you are probably good enough to work it out for yourself.
There are no set rules, it is a case of what works for you, with your equipment and your chops.

In my dreams of playing up there that is what I do!

Thanks for the input on fingering those high notes.

Now, all I'll have to do is keep working on being able to play them effectively.
