Sorry for the easy question, but I am a beginner.
Can anyone please tell me what T1, T2 etc. in flute scores mean? I suppose it is something really fundamental, but am not sure what it is.
Thank you!
Bo

Is it in an etude book or something? Because I've seen something like that to designate a particular fingering to be used in a study, such as which way to finger Bb..

What is it in?

Oh, flutes have 2 thumb keys right?

In clarinet fingering, the put T for the thumb key.

Perhaps its first thumb key, or second thumb key?

Hi,
Thanks for the replies. The exact context is actually a footnote that reads "upper trill key (T2) or B-C# trill key + T1" So T might mean trill, but it is not clear to me what they really mean. It is in a piece called "Distant Voices" by John Lemmoné.

I can scan the whole page if necessary.

There are two trill keys, T(rill key)1, and T(rill key)2.

<Added>

And there is no "etc". :-) That probably threw us.

But isn't that usually marked Tr 1 and Tr 2? So that's why I thought it had something to do with the thumb/Bb keys... it would be nice if the original poster elaborated

OK, I have put a scan of the page in question here:

so maybe it is clear.
Thanks!

the bassoon music I have played has only t for trills.

I have to confess my beginner's ignorance here . I didn't know there are two trill keys. I have a trill chart, but I don't know about the two keys...??

thats ok...if you look at those two small keys near the headjoint of the flute there are two of them and they are in line with each other those are the pads that open up when the trill keys are pressed, the trill keys are those small keys inbetween your standard tone holes on the right hand:
(i havent seen my flute in weeks so excuse me if im wrong)
in between the first finger and the second finger
in between your 2nd and 3rd finger those small keys
REMEMBER: RIGHT HAND!
hope that helps
