Trill
Fingering Chart for Recorder
Second
Octave: C5 to B5 / F5 to E6
This
fingering chart includes trill fingerings, which are fingerings designed for rapid
alternation between two notes at an interval of a minor second (semitone) or a
major second (whole tone) apart. Many of these fingerings can also be used as
alternate fingerings for some fast passages. Holes to be trilled are indicated
in red. When more than one hole is to be
trilled, the holes should be simultaneously covered and simultaneously uncovered,
unless the description says to alternate covering and uncovering the keys. The
fingerings apply to all sizes (sopranino, soprano, treble/alto, tenor, bass, and
great bass) of both English and German recorders unless specified otherwise. Note
that the fingerings apply to the lower set of notes for C instruments (soprano,
tenor, and great bass) and to the upper set of notes for F instruments (sopranino,
treble/alto, and bass).
