Christine - I play Ab and trill the 2nd side key from the top. This
produces a slightly flat trill on my Yamaha clarinets, but not enought to
render it unusable for a trill. Otherwise, you'll need to trill the A key
and one or the other of the Bb keys, the aforementioned side key, and the
register key.
