It's not really extra. The C#/G# key is articulated, and the key and hole
are on the lower joint, with the hole in-line with the other holes, instead
of around the side. It makes the tenon kind of interesting, since it needs
to have a hole in it also and must be lined up well, but I'll bet it won't
get full of water on you!

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
