B&H fitted a tab to the C#/G# key on some of their clarinets which allowed the C#/G# key to lower the LH2 ring key so a C#/Db-D#/Eb or G#/Ab-A#/Bb trill could be done by fingering C#/G# and trilling with LH2 only.

I did a similar thing many years ago with my 10S basset clarinet but superglued a matchstick to the LH2 linkage that ran over the top of the C#/G# cup arm, so the C#/G# key closed the LH2 ring key pad for the same reason.
