Favourite fast easy Twiddly bits

My offering is an ornament on Eb. Finger C# with left hand and Eb with right hand. Left hand stays put. Now slide right little finger down to C position and back. In the middle of sliding you get a D. The whole thing sounds more or less
Eb D C# D Eb. Any offers?

Call me daft if you like, but i dont get this. As far as i can see if your sax works correctly the D shouln't sound at all. I think you should get D#(Eb if you like) then straight to C# and back again. However regardless of the technicalities i also use this little area to nice effect.
Kind Regards

It works for me. I did it slowly with alto and octave key. When the right little finger is off the left little finger down make little difference to the sound and you get a D. ScoreCleaner produced this:
