OK, can we define out terms here? Which fingering for which Bb are we
arguing about? And which is then the preferred fingering? Are we
referring to the clarion Bb above the staff, in which case the "side" Bb
uses the first trill key? Or is it the throat Bb an octave below it, using
the 3rd trill key?
