How much time have you spent with the SX90R? It is a much larger bore than MkVI's and alot of other horns so it takes more air/energy to push those high notes out. Keep working with it. I also found that with my SX90R I had to find alternate altissimo fingerings because the ones that most people can get to speak just didn't work for the horn.
SX90R and Altissimo
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.
any suggestions?
