Re: Make articulated C#/G# on a standard 17/6?

... as is one of the altissimo Bb fingerings, but that's easy to work around by using the different fingerings available for these notes that don't rely on the C#/G# tonehole being open while any RH fingers are held down.

It's not just there for the F#-G# trill as it also makes playing some intervals and passages with loads of flats or sharps easier. It's standard equipment on oboes and saxes, so no reason why it should be dismissed on clarinets or by clarinettists.
