C# Trill Key

The C# trill key is a lever activated by the first finger of the right hand to open a tone hole next to the thumb key. It simplifies many awkward trill and tremolo fingerings and has become a preferred feature among professional flutists. It is available as an option on the Azumi AZ3 flute.

 

C# Trill Key Fingerings:
• B to C#: Finger B and trill the C# key. This works in both the first and second octaves.
• C to C#: Finger C and trill the C# key. Again, this works in both first and second octaves.
