 another trick fingering?
Author: klarisa

Does anyone have a trick fingering for a fast tremolo between A above the top line of the staff to the D above it switching later to a tremolo between the same A and C# above it and later back to the first tromolo. Everithing is under a bow so should pe played legato (from the first tremolo to the second and back) I have found no suitable fingering so far and the flutes in the band play the same tremolo's so we need to have a good intonation.

Without trying it out I'm just guessing off the top of my head (you've probably already tried this):

Play A as normal, but for D use the lower (Bb) RH trill key (xxo|ooo - ooo |BbTr ooo),

and for the C# use the RH side F# key (xxo|ooo - ooo| F#ooo).

Another fingering to try:


Tremelo A to D:
A: TR xxo l 000 to D: all open (over blowing an open G to get a D above the A you mentioned)

Tremelo A to C#:
A: TR xx0 l 000 to C#: x00 l 000 (over blowing chalumeau F# to get the C#)

The D and C# may be somewhat flat, but that can be fixed with a bit of embouchure adjustment and increased air flow.

In addition to the fingerings I mentioned:

You can also use, depress, your Right Hand Ab/Eb key.
This will aid in stabilizing, holding, the instrument as you tremelo and also bring up the pitch of the D and C# (it also raised the A pitch a bit).
