Maybe he's a naturally high player? I can get a top g on a good day! High
chops, me.

I'm not sure that it's such an uncommon occurrence:

Another reasont to stick with horn...
I'm not sure the horn's any better in that respect? My physiology textbook
says that trumpet players can raise their intra-thoracic pressure to
100mmHg. I can blow into a sphyg hard enough to get 150. I wonder if any of
the new automatic blood pressure monitors could measure our blood pressure
whilst we're playing. I suspect the results would be interesting.
Speaking of which, anyone know how Pip Eastpop hit top top top A on the
london horn sound CD? Please tell me he didn't do it on an ordinary
mouthpiece and instrument?!
