Trills

 
Trill - From G   Trill - From Gb
G F   Gb F
 
Comments: Normal fingerings   Comments: The G natural on the trill isn't perfect, but it usually sounds OK.
    Alternate Trill - From Gb
      Gb F
     
    Comments: This most obvious fingering is very difficult. The normal technique for going from Gb to F is to slide the 4th finger of your right hand, but this isn't quick enough for a trill. This trill can be played with a rocking, flexing motion of the finger, opening and closing the individual hole as shown. It is difficult to make it sound as good as the first method, but the notes are true.
