as far as playing them , i have hit them to 3rd octave D, just farting around though, I have yet to integrate anything above 3rd A in to any musical tune, AS you put it, “with feeling”, i really have not needed it,
but tried them out, i too only hit them around them minutes a day, most people around can’t stand them LOL— my biggest stepping stone was finding the right keys to use for my sax, till i finally found a good chart that worked, then as one practices other key placements for that note come into play because that note becomes familiar-my thoughts anyway
