What is the fingering for e flat on tenor sax?

Answer 1

The Saxophone is actually a pretty easy instrument to learn. It will be quite hard to explain over the computer with typing but I will try my best.

There are seven major holes on the saxophone. The six buttons where your fingers would commonly rest, then there is your octave key. This is the button where your thumb rests. When you have all of your fingers down, except for the octave key, you are playing a low D. When you lift your right ring finger you change to a low E. When your right middle finger is raised you will sound a low F. Then when you raise your right pointer finger a low G is heard. Once you raise your left ring finger an A is being played. When you raise your left middle finger you are playing a B. Then when you raise your pointer finger and put down your left middle finger you are playing a C. From there you start over by putting all of your fingers down again, only this time you hold down the octave key with your thumb.

Please get a fingering chart from a local music store.

Answer 2

Fingerings for the notes on a Tenor Saxophone are the same as the fingerings on an Alto Saxophone, and a Baritone Saxophone. Here is a link to a good picture of a saxophone fingering chart. http://www.amromusic.com/images/band_instruments/saxophonefingering_chart_saxophone_printable.gif

Answer 3

Basic Note Fingerings:

A: first two fingers on the left hand

B: first finger on the left hand

C: second finger on the left hand

D: first three fingers on the left and right hand

E: first three fingers on the left hand and first two fingers on right hand

F: first three fingers on the left hand and first finger on the right hand

G: first three fingers on the left hand

To raise these notes by an octave simply press the register key (not a full circle button, more of a half-circle) which is located beside the left thumb-rest.

Hope this helped :)

Answer 4

There is a link below to a sheet of music with all the notes in the written range of a Bb Trumpet. It includes note names and fingerings.

Note for non-Bb trumpets:

The fingerings for the written notes will stay the same, however the pitches (and names of the notes) will be different.

Answer 5

Finger a D; Pointer, middle, and ring finger on your left hand, pointer, middle, and ring finger on your right hand, and press the top key for your bottom right pinkie. in other words, finger a D, but add the key above your low C key

Answer 6

The note A sharp is also B flat.

A Sharp/B Flat can be played on the tenor by putting both index fingers down as in pushing down the first key at the top of your sax and your pushing down the first key at the bottom of the sax.

It can also be played by pushing down the first key at the top and the much smaller key directly underneath it.

Answer 7

D sharp is the same as E.

E is three fingers down on top and the first two at the bottom for low E.

For high E, it's the same plus the octave key.

Answer 8

Being a transposing instrument the fingerings are the same as for any saxophone.

See sources and related links for more information.

Answer 9

Same as C-sharp
