I'm glad you explained the differences you experience between the short and long high F fingerings. I play horn now, but long F was my go-to when I was playing a lot of clarinet decades ago. As a ww doubler in pit orchestras, I needed consistent response more than nuances of timbre. The principal clarinet in my current community orchestra recently had a solo and kept cracking high F's using the short fingering...I wanted so badly to ask why he wasn't using the alternative!
Great video! Altissimo is what I struggle with the most, especially when there are altissimo notes right at the start of a piece. Do you have any tips for creating a fuller, warmer sound in the altissimo register? I'm definitely joining your patreon soon!
Thank you, working on altissimo for tenor sax at the moment so I’ll be back to this video soon. Any tips for improving to b flat b transition and c to g sharp? The break!
The biggest open secret of clarinet playing: the altissimo register is where one really learns how to play the whole instrument well.

Hello! Engaging the corners and top lip of the embouchure was a game changer for me!

The F# is hard to get it resonant, only with the banana key fingering

Where are these exercises from? They smell like Klose but I don't seem them in either edition that I have.
