Fingering Acoustic schematic Non-specialist introduction
to acoustic impedance |
This is the standard fingering for G6, but it may also be considered as the fingering for C5/6 with enough cross fingering to flatten C5 a little, and C6 a semitone. The 4th, 1st and 2nd minima, respectively, correspond to these pitches. The 3rd is unplayable.
You can hear the multiphonic C5, B5 and G6 played by Geoffrey Collins.
