So i have been practicing on a baroque piece that was originally written for oboe, im playing alto recorder. Everything goes smoothly until there is this D6 (which is the highest note in the piece) when i close half of the thumb hole and close the first two holes on top. it sounds awful, i saw Sarah Jeffery doing it on one of her videos. She has a 3K$ handmade recorder, while my recorder is 200$ so I'm wondering if it has any relevance - i could also ASK AI for the answer but i want to know what you guys think.

Guys, most of Albinoni oboe concertos are definitely playable on the alto recorder in terms of range, they are stunning and its so fun to play them. i have already learned the Op.7, No. 3.

they are all available on IMSLP.
