An alto saxophone is in the key of E-Flat, or Eb
The Alto Saxophone is in the key of E flat. That means that an E flat on the Alto Saxophone is the same pitch as a C on a piano or other concert pitch instrument.
The saxophone has been modified over the years but not hugely. the f# key has been added to the saxophone for it to be played a semitone higher
Low B flat for most, but some saxophone models have a low A key below the octave key.
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.
