Yes, the octave key can be replaced on a Saxophone. In fact, it is a fairly easy fix and requires minimal parts. It will require equipment, labor, and some time to adjust the octave key to sound the best it can. The best way to get it fixed is to go to your local musical store that has a repair center and get it fixed there. You might want to ask for an estimate, but they range from around $40-$120 depending on the time required and some other factors.

∙ 12y agoThere isn't an octave key but there is a "register key". Holding the register key raises the pitch by a twelfth, e.g. from middle C to high G. The register key is found by the thumbhole (where your left thumb goes).
To use it you have to cover the thumbhole with your thumb and hold the register key at the same time. You'll also have to tighten your embouchure (the way your mouth is held around the mouthpiece) to make sure the note is in tune.

Press octave key down to let air out earlier - thus making the pitch higher!

Is a b flat clarinet the same notes as a tenor saxophone?
Take the upper octave fingerings of the B flat clarinet (D in the staff to a D above the staff) and they produce the same notes on the tenor saxophone. On tenor saxophone, you would use the same fingerings for notes regardless of which octave you are in (for example: a D in the staff is the same fingering as a D below the staff) either adding the octave key to make the note higher or lower. The only inconsistencies with no relation between clarinet and tenor are the fingerings for C (middle key in the left hand on tenor) and C sharp (no keys down on tenor) Notes in the octave above the staff are different from clarinet to tenor as well.
