∙ 14y agoMy first inclination would be to tell you to please purchase a fingering chart at a music store. You must keep in mind that the saxophone is a trans positional instrument. In other words, the sax is not pitched in C (except of course the C-Melody saxophone from the 1920's, but they don't make them anymore )Today's modern day saxophones are the Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Baritone. The Tenor sax, and the Soprano sax are pitched in Bb and the Alto sax and the Baritone sax are pitched in Eb. When you ask the question of "How do you play a G# on a sax?", we have to know which sax, and if you mean a G# concert, like on a Piano, or a transposed G# on the sax. Lets start with the most common of all the saxophones, the Eb Alto saxophone. If you play a G# on the piano, in order to get the exact same sounding note on the Eb Alto Saxophone, you would have to finger an F. Which is fingered 123-1. If you're playing the Bb Tenor Saxophone, a concert G# on the piano, would be transposed up one full step, so you would finger an A# (Or a Bb, same note)Which is fingered 12 RH side- key. Now we can answer your original question... A G# on the sax is fingered123 Left pinky key. But remember a G# on the saxophone is not a real G#. On the Eb Alto saxophone, a G# is a concert B. On the Bb Tenor saxophone, a G# is really a concert F#. Now you understand the transpositional nature of the saxophone family. The reason for this, is so the notes will fit on a treble clef, and the saxophonist can switch between the different members of the saxophone family and still play the same fingerings. Genius!!Good Luck!

How do you fix sticking G sharp and C sharp keys on a soprano saxophone no bell?
What you need to do is locate which keys are sticking, the g sharp is usually under you finger that plays a g and the c sharp is about 3 pads under that. You either need a cloth, piece of laminated paper or a 5 dollar note(If Australian). You need to pry open the pad, don't force it, it should be easy to open. Then place your item in the middle, let go so it is closed with the piece of cloth etc and pull the cloth out a few times, the reason why it sticks is usually because of you saliva that can clog up the pads. If this doesn't work you will need to take it to a repairman.
How can I get the buttons on my tenor saxophone unstuck?
If they are stuck together, the best advice is to take it to a shop and have them look at it. If you can get them unstuck, but they are sticky and don't play well, take a dollar bill and use the coating on it to rub on the pads. Usually this helps. If it is a minor caseof sticking, you can try to fix it yourself, but if its not, then take it into a shop. hope this helped
Is kesha mezzo soprano or alto?
She is an underdeveloped soprano. Her voice is light like a soprano, but is not developed like a true soprano. Very few women are true contraltos, a good example is Pink. A mezzo-soprano has a "darker" vocal quality, but not the depth of a contralto. Lady Gaga and Gwen Stefani are mezzo-sopranos. Vocal type is based on timbre or tone quality, not range. Many sopranos, such as Mariah Carey, have the ability to sing extreme low notes. ---- Because of the excessive use of autotune, you will never know. Allow me to fix some of this yes P!nk is an alto but so is Mariah.
