This is a supplement post to the already existing posts on dyad multiphonics for Bb and bass clarinets. Checking those posts out first will give you plenty of background information, and some tips for writing (and playing) these effects.
As always I am notating in written pitches here.

Hi, Thank you very much for all your work ! Regarding the Eb clarinet multiphonics : Could you please specify which trills are possible? I was wondering about trilling #6 with #9, do you think it could work? Thank you in advance!
Hi Antonin, sorry for the loooong delay – that trill will kind of be possible, but the clarinetist will need to do it with their right thumb (which is usually used for holding up the instrument), so this is going to be much better if it’s in a chamber music piece where the clarinetist will be sitting!
