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. :oops:

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...

Or the one you have to hit with cold lips and a contrabass tuba at FFFF in Carmina Burana

I was talking about the one an octave higher, in the treble clef.
