Product Description
The “A” key is the upper right hand side key, used to trill G#-A and Ab-Bb in the first and second octave (diagram #1).
The “B” trill key is used to trill A#-B in the first and second octaves (diagram #2).
The “banana” key is used as an alternative to the little finger key for C, and avoids sliding the little finger (diagram #3).
A larger opening in the right hand third finger key allows more resonance and better intonation (diagram #4).
