Tips

The high F# is played in a sharpened 3rd position – make sure to listen very carefully to make sure the slide is in exactly the right place. Practice with a drone or tuner to make sure the pitch is accurate.

It can be beneficial to practice playing this scale with the Bs in 7th position even if you have a valve in order to improve slide accuracy.
