Feb 7th 9:58 AM Just messing about trying to get the high G to speak described by Paul elsewhere on another thread, no joy on my S1 alto, but found this C which speaks clear and true: LH1, RH 1&2 with or without octave key. Switch to LH2&3, RH 1&2 for c#, lift LH2 for a D (might be a little sharp) - although I have to say up there I can get lots of notes on any given fingering.... First one gives a nice reliable C4 though on my horn. The low Eb key also raise this by about a semitone on my horn, whereas I use that key on many other fingerings just to get the notes to speak clearly.
