F#5. Corey, Gerald (Dec. 1998). The note is most sure with a Schreiber KD-1 thin metal high register bocal and with a resistant and well-balanced reed. This note can be easily played by first taking the higher G5 (x o o | o o o plus R. H. thumb a key) and then dropping the R. H. first finger for F#.
