I don't own the Sinta book, but have studied with Sinta students and have heard about the text. I belive it would be a nice complement to the Rascher book.

Top tones deals with overtones and fingerings and has some very nice exercises to work on that are life long things.

The Sinta Voicings is a bit more work tword the concepts of oral cavity shapinging with vowels and other aspects of high note playing (including coloration of tone). Though i have not worked directly out of this book, it seems like a great companion book.

If i am not mistaken Denise Dabny helped write this book with Sinta. Isn't she teaching at Radford???? I know i have seen the ad in the Saxophone Journal.

go cruise around the "Tone Producing" section. There is a Randy M who had lots of information about the Sinta "Voicings" techniques. Randy hasn't posted here in a while (too bad, he had lots of really good insights). Anyway, google says :
