If the upper trill notes for an Ab-Bb, G#-A or D#-E trill are sharp, that's something you can adjust yourself to flatten them using wax or Blu-Tack to fill in the upper portion of the aperture in the relevant fingerplate (applied, adjusted and shaped with a smooth metal rod or a wooden cocktail stick) and can easily be reversed with no lasting effect on the instrument. Apply the filler to resemble a crescent moon (thicker at the top edge and thinning down at the sides) and make the new aperture as circular as possible.
