This is my trill chart for the third octave. If you have a trill question that cannot be answered on these pages, please send me e-mail at fluteandpiccoloplace@hotmail.com and I will try to answer it for you. Thanks for visiting!
How to read this chart: The notes range from C1 (the lowest C) to C4 (the highest C). The bold number/letter(s) indicates the fingers which are trilled. The numbers tell you which fingers are to be pressed, while the - means to lift the specific fingers. G# means the left hand pinky key, while Eb means the right hand pinky key. The x's indicate trill keys, and DT means Double Thumb Key. These trills are the same for piccolo from D1 up to C4.
