D flat is the same thing as C sarp, its the easiest ro describe how to play. Haha, you don't hold anything down, all your fingers are off the keys! :)
you play low b-flat by pressing down all three fingers on the top and bottom hand and the bottom pinky keys on both hands
its c# open everything and play
It is the same as c sharp
The tenor sax always plays a whole tone above concert pitch instruments like the organ. If the organist is playing in C then the tenor sax plays in D. This is because when you play lin key of C on the tenor sax you are playing in Bb concert. So you always have to raise your pitch by a whole tone in order to be in tune with the concert pitch instruments
C, C, A, G, E, G, A, G, E, D, C, D, Eb, E, G, A, G, C
Yes it does take more air to play tenor sax because it is bigger. I play tenor and i started on alto and tenor sax needs more air. It's somewhat like transitioning from a tenor sax to a barry. it takes a crapload of air for a whole note. By the way, should the sax family be: sopranino, soprano, tenor, alto, baritone, bass, contrabass in that order? I would also think that the amount of air goes up as you go from alto to tenor because it is larger in size. I can play a high D (tenor) for two bars. == ==
The fingering for fourth line d on the tenor sax is the first three fingers on your left hand and the first three fingers on your right hand plus the octave key with your left thumb.

D flat is the same as C sharp, and you play it with none of your fingers on the keys.
If the piano is in C, the tenor sax will be in D.
Bb, A, Gb, Fsharp, and D.

D sharp is the same as E flat, if that helps.
Since a tenor sax is a B-flat instrument, I believe this means to play the music as written. When the musician plays a C as written, it will come out as a B-Flat. If the player was asked to play in C (or sometimes called 'concert'), then he would need to transpose each note up one whole step, so that if he played a D, then a C would come out. If a score is available, the player can look at the other parts (either the voice parts or the organ part) to see what key they are written in. Example if the organ part is keyed in C (no sharps or flats), then the Tenor Sax's part would be written in key of D (2 sharps: F# and C#). If the organ part is written in B-flat (2 flats: B-flat & E-flat), then the sax part is written in C (no sharps or flats).

Well the 12 major scales of the alto saxophone are C,F,B(flat),E(flat),A(flat),D(flat),g(flat),B,E,A,D, and G.
