My SX90R tenor (bought new in 2000) really has trouble with the altissimo range.
My tech went over the horn and said it is perfect.
When I pick up my MkVI the high notes just pop out of the horn (using the same barone hollywood 7* on both.) It really puts a damper on other wise a great sounding horn.
There's an altissimo fingering chart for Keilwerth horns floating around the web somewhere. As I recall, the fingerings are different than for most other horns.
