    I don't think that a pedal Bb can be played with the same embouchure required for a high Bb. I adjust, but my change from the middle to high range is very small.

    At IET this year I put an octave gliss (middle F to high F, BC) in a cadenza. I found that the best technique for me was to half-press the 3rd valve.

    Emulating vocalists is precisely what I do. Much of what I play these days is popular and gospel music, and sounding like the vocalist[s] who originally recorded the songs works very well for me.

    James Gourlay demonstrated those for us (using my "Schiller Elite") several years ago. I couldn't get them to work on that same horn, but I can get a solid low Eb (open, no valves) on my oval.
