Re: G# to A trill

I guess I don’t quite get what’s so difficult about this trill.

As the OP stated, using the side key is unacceptably sharp. But, contrary to a couple of you who suggested using the register key as an alternate, this, IMO, is also sharp enough to be avoided, let alone the discrepancy in the sound between the two notes of the trill.

My only suggestion is to avoid the shortcuts, alternate fingerings and the like and practice the trill solely with the LH first finger. While it may seem somewhat awkward at first, it’s hardly problematic to accomplish it with a bit of focused practice.

Even with my increasing arthritis…
