So I've been struggling with this issue for a few weeks now. I warm up using a modified version of the Stamp routine which takes me down to pedal C and then up to double G.

F, F#, and G above high C I can negotiate with but Eb and E do not want to slot. It just feels like the target is the size of a pinhole. I can eventually land on it after dancing above and below for a second and I've tried all the valve combinations to see if that helps. This is frustrating because it's hurting the development of resonance on the higher notes I can slot more consistently. Just wanted to see if there's anything I'm missing here that may be help me out. You can see my equipment in the signature. I play the Yamaha with the CG3 as my daily driver.

Hello,
Check mouthpiece to venturi gap. Sounds like it is too big.

You might do a search (even a Google search) on Yamaha and mouthpiece gap. There has been past discussion on Kanstul made mouthpiece gap and Yamaha trumpets.

Try to borrow a Yamaha mouthpiece of a similar size and see if the problem still exists. If it does then start exploring the mouthpiece to receiver end gap.

hello
with such throat sizes like this, it makes sometimes more difficult to slot the notes in the high register.
I'd try a mpc in the size of the 1 1/2 C with a #27 throat and see what happens

It is the nature of that overtone in the series.. I've seen it called a "lesser tone" it tends to be on the flat side and hard to center. Some mouthpiece adjustments might help but will likely affect somewhere else in a negative manner. Everything is a compromise.
C, D, and G all open settle pretty well; E is squarely and the F is nearly an F#.
Could be a gap issue, but if the D and the G are popping, I tend to think not.

Look up overtone series and pitch tendencies....
