My alto sax student was playing a passage that went basically up a C7 chord to C6 and back down. She played it with the bis Bb and the normal C (LH 2nd finger). I noticed it wasn't really smooth and suggested she use the RH side key for C. She asked if it would be in tune, since she had the bis key pressed along with LH 1st finger B. I had never really thought about it - I'm a clarinetist at heart and don't often use the bis fingering unless I'm thinking about it.
So my quick question is, *should* that fingering (bis,LH1, side C key) be in tune? The quick answer should have been to just try it. I tried it on my alto and the C sounded fine. Then she tried it on hers and it was noticeably flat. Is it really instrument specific? Is mine the aberrant one for being in tune?
