I can't seem to recall this "trick" fingering I used to know. It's kind of a be-bop trick that (I think) involves fingering E2 or E-flat2 minus maybe F or G. You slur between two notes just by ajusting your embechure. Does anyone know this fingering?

Also there's a harmonic w/ a similar fingering of E-flat minus F (i think) that sounds like a 18 wheeler blowing it's horn. I have a new horn, and I haven't been able to find the note so far. Does anyone know this one, too.

P.S.: I know all of these fingerings are changable for different horns, but many are usually fairly close for most horns.

So, it is supposed to be a multiphonic? I don't know what you are trying to achieve. Is it supposed to be two split tones, or one tone that sounds funny?

There was kind of two questions in that post... one was looking for (what hence has been deemed) a "shake" involving some derivation of E-flat2. I saw on another thread that it's minus G2... giving you a shake between B-flat and another note (perhaps E-flat.) Anyway you wiggle between the notes by adjusting your embechure.

The other is a question involving a harmonic (or as people on this thread like to say "multiphonic.") I think it's E-flat minus E. It's rather loud and resembles an 18 wheeler's truck horn, but very cool.
