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)

No other keys except for the middle of the 3 main keys around the front of the saxophone. Make sure that you tighten your throat as you go closer to the high notes to get a nice clear sound. Hope this helps x
this is a student sax.... it's worth, depending on the condition,,, $350 to $650. thanks go to All-Experts sax King Koeller
Yes it does take more air to play tenor sax because it is bigger. I play tenor and i started on alto and tenor sax needs more air. It's somewhat like transitioning from a tenor sax to a barry. it takes a crapload of air for a whole note. By the way, should the sax family be: sopranino, soprano, tenor, alto, baritone, bass, contrabass in that order? I would also think that the amount of air goes up as you go from alto to tenor because it is larger in size. I can play a high D (tenor) for two bars. == ==
