to play a B on the Alto Sax, hold down the second button.00o00To play a b on a alto sax hold the 1st. key with your left index finger.Technicaly you do hold down the second key but when you learn sax we call it the first key. The Actually first key is hardly used at all.
The Alto Saxophone is in Eb When you play an F# on the Alto Sax it will sound as an A on the Piano. Response to previous answer: No, most are Eb. There are different companies that make a Bb (not a tenor or soprano) If you play a written C on the sax, it will sound as an Eb on a piano A tuner would be helpful to find out what concert pitch you have. Play a C on an alto into the tuner. The pitch that shows up on the screen of the tuner is the pitch of your instrument i believe

The low "C" on an alto sax is top 3, bottom 3, with right hand pinki on the bottom button/note.
The tenor saxophone sounds in Bb when playing in C (it goes a whole step lower). The alto saxophone sounds in Eb when playing in C (going 4.5 steps lower).Therefore, transpose the notes UP 3 steps to go from tenor sax music to alto sax music.Each sax is tuned 3 steps below the one above it or 3 steps higher from the one below it (from saprano to alto, alto to tenor, tenor to bari)
Same as C-natural
If the piano is in C, the tenor sax will be in D.
you can play it by not pressing down any keys. OR for low c#, all six keys plus the second left pinky key (low C plus the pinky). this can be alternate fingering with an octave key
