Reread my post on the third ring and review the part about trilling from clarion Ab to Bb. You can now trill with the middle finger. The third ring is connected to the rod in such a way that it holds the pad that is above the second fingerhole shut so that you can do this trill. Without this third ring, the pad opens when you remove your finger from the 2nd fingerhole and you won't have a Bb.
