@legendarybassoon Thanks! I was actually going to post an update - I found that playing F4 with 1xx 12xx and alternating with open D worked. I'm used to cross fingerings from recorder. But I'll try this option, too!

First concert of this project was last Saturday, second is tomorrow.

Even with my current low mood and lack of any motivation at all, I am still practicing trumpet. I have been focusing on an embouchure adjustment. I need to get it working for low notes. And then there are a couple of lines in the etude I'm working on that are hard to play musically.

I also played bassoon for the first time in forever. I'm in no shape to play Milde but I'm starting with #1 anyway.
