 contra trill
Author: Jeff 
Date:   2002-09-17 18:57

My school was borrowing a contrabass from another school. This year they had to give the instrument back, so now I am stuck with the old one. The only problem is, this year in our region music we have to do a trill from Bb to C over the break. My new instrument does not have the extra trill keys on the side. It only has the bottom trill key and I need the top two. Is there another fingering I can use?

I would use the low Eb (if you have it) with the register key for the Bb and the left hand C.

I think that William's suggestion is your only option that would sound even remotely in tune.

Contra trills? What are you playing?
