Best Answer

It depends on the Saxophone and how skilled the player may be.

The official range is from low Bb to High F. Although if you have an altissimo saxophone, you are able to play High F#. You can just about play any note you want in altissimo range, it doesn't have to require any additional buttons.

Some skilled players can reach notes up to 5 ledger lines above the treble clef at a high C. Some players are able to go as high as their lips can handle. (Requires a lot of practice and skill)
