why do I get a red spot on my left hand index finger when I practice?

the 4th C and the 3rd Bb
maybe low d# too

I haven't had that problem with my gemeinhardt 2sp...
try making your lips more circular and try blowing harder as straight into the hole as you can

i use the side key(the lever) as much as I can.
for a piece without many b naturals i usually use the thumb.
if it is an etude my teacher does not like me to use "easy fingerings" on exercises.
