itsstephenyo Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 haha we actually had some saxophone altissimo moments in our show this past year... there was a hit where we glissed from an A to a C (in Eb). well he always complained that there wasn't enough of it so my friend and i finally went up to him one day after rehearsal and were lk "can we add this to the hit at 60?" and popped out the altissimo C. from then on, it was in. of course this was a completely unconventional way of doing it. we cheated a lot and just kinda bit down on the reed. now, though after doing some pretty extensive voicing and altissimo exercises i can work my way chromatically up to an altissimo D# well enough. it really really feels weird when u begin to learn it.

ClarinetGlissandoInBlue Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 i can hit high G at any given moment w/o thinking in tune, but above that, no guarantees... besides, everything above that G and maybe the A is superfluous. Those notes are only good for some jazz and improv Quote
