Ooops! Wrong finger. I guess it depends on where you wear your rings. Of
course it's a rh second (middle) finger trill (unless you're a pianist, in
which case it's third finger). I always feel uncomfortable numbering
fingers, anyway - pianists have 5 fingers, string players have only 4
fingers and a thumb, and if you say "middle finger" where I teach, you get
snickers. You just can't win.
