Bass clarinet trill

Author: clarnibass

Hi

Does anyone have suggestions for a fast C to D trill on a bass clarinet?

[C6]

The regular trill fingering that works on soprano clarinet doesn't work on bass clarinet.

Playing C normally and trilling with throat G# key plus first finger with half hole is ok but really sharper than we would like.

Playng C normally and trilling using the thumb key (keeping register key pressed) has good intonation but is not comfortable. There are many variations on that using the same key, such as changing fingers, using the right hand, etc. Assume that these don't work in this situation.

Is there a more comfortable fingering with decent intonation?
