Anybody got an alternate fingering for the F#-G# (top line of the staff) trill on a Std Boehm?

Just leave down the bottom hand and trill the G# key.

with the F# position, move the LH forefinger; very stuffy but in tune.
There is not a real solution to this trill on standards boehm systems.

Unless you have an articulated C#/G# mechanism, there's no good trill from F# to G#. The most familiar solo calling for that trill is in Bizet's Carmen Suite, which also has a clumsy G#/A trill. The best solution is to transpose it on the A clarinet. It's a bit more difficult, but perfectly possible, and the G/A and A/Bb trills are perfect.
Best regards.

This is a reason for the "articulated" C#/G# as one of the additions toward the "Full Boehm" clarinet. Any 17/6 cl fingering I've found has been poor at best. Don

We read through the Carmen suites last week in orchestra. How lucky we clarinetists are to be able to pick up a differently pitched instrument to avoid a yukky trill. I think Bizet must have been trying to cause heartache to the wind section because both our oboist and bassoonists tripped up on trills in their parts. They could not switch instruments! Luckily, some kind clarinetist who had gone before me had already written out the transposition of the bit with the trills (as per Ken Shaw's post above). Very kind of them to leave the transposed part with the orchestral parts when he or she handed the music in.
