In your altissimo, how high can you go? On bari I can get a double high F#, and on alto I can get a double high G.

Well, wait, you're confusing me. Double G? That's not high at all, that means you only go up to the second G on the staff. You're using the terminology wrong dang it! Evil or Very Mad

On tenor I can hit third A and alto I can hit third G...on bari...well, I don't even wanna go past third F, no reason to IMO

By double high G and A I mean the A and G above the first altissimo A and G
