I am asking to get some data for some etudes I want to write.
I'm guessing that the range will be mostly between Bb4 and F5, but who knows?
Try not to lie?

It'd be good to know in a post what you picked, and what your experience is playing.
I picked D5 because according to your criteria I probably could have picked A5, but that just seemed silly and pretensious. Just because I can play stupid high doesn't mean I'm not pretty average or below in most/all other ways.harrisonreed wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2019 3:07 am Looks like you did not vote for F5 though... What did you end up picking?
I'm interested in knowing where the majority of people top out and who they are for academic reasons.
I can play around and sustain a high F in 1st, b2nd and 4th most days, but if I've had a couple of gigs on the trot where I've played long, loud and high sets, like this week without a rest or practice day, I would expect for the notes to be there, but not as controllable or clear.harrisonreed wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 9:08 pm What is the top note that you can cleanly articulate and play for a few seconds? Assume you've warmed up and are maybe near the middle of a concert. Let's assume you've even got reference pitches, so you know what the note should sound like before you play it. Not fatigued. Not cold turkey.

Hi Tim,
I assume you mean the top note I can play with confidence? Assuming this, I voted for Ab4, but I can almost hit (and sustain for several seconds) the B4 too. But I would not (for the time being, anyway, hoping to improve...) dare to play higher than Ab4 in public, certainly not solo.harrisonreed wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 9:08 pm What is the top note that you can cleanly articulate and play for a few seconds?
