Phillip, do you find the voicing of the G#4-A4 trill with the 3rd rh side key, as you suggest, to be considerably deficient in sound quality as compared to the sound generated by the conventional fingering the of the A4?

I tried that suggestion before coming here.

I have no illusions that trill fingers are apt to produce notes of less quality than those generated with conventional fingerings; recognizing it as a tradeoff.

Certainly the A4 to B4 rt hand trill would be such an example...

But that said, the G#4-A4 trill you provided, at least on my R13, was really sub par. Maybe it's me and/or my setup.

Thanks.
