Re: POLL! Have you ever played a high G♭ without cracking it
For whatever strange reason, I find the high F# considerably more intimidating than the Gb.

Oh... that Gb just above the staff. I thought you were talking about the Gb another octave higher.

I am physically incapable of cracking a high Gb, right up until I walk into an audition or recording session when the anti Gb force field hits me. Or at least thats what I tell the juries/music directors...
