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.
Can you replace the octave key on a saxophone?
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.
How do you play alto saxophone f sharp in the third octave?
If you do not have a high F# key you will be actually playing an altissimo note. Play a high A with the octave key depressed. Now keep the same fingering except move your left index finger up to the bis key or the key next to where you were. At the same time, add the Bb side key. That is the fingering I use for F#. You might have to curl your tongue some like saying "Hurl" when you blow. It takes practice.
How does a c sharp sound on saxophone?
Open C# tends to play sharp and the timbre sounds different. Sometimes I add a side key to help correct the pitch or I will use the low C# fingering and add the octave key. If I play open C#, I drop my jaw just a little to lower the pitch and bring it in tune.
