 Keying for the Soprano Sax
Author: Maurice

HI all fellow sax players...

Ive been playing the clarinet for a fair while so last year I decided to buy a soprano sax as I love the sound. Is there a book or a website or some other source of information for Soprano sax keyings.

I can sort of get the scale right but just wanted to know what notes I was playing and alternate notes etc... :-) Hehehe

thanks very muchly,
maurice

All the saxes finger the same. Just a different concert pitch comes out.

Soprano Sax - finger C and a concert Bb just below comes out.

Alto Sax - finger C and a concert Eb below comes out

Tenor sax - finger a C and a concert Bb an octave plus whole step below comes out.

Baritone sax - finger a C and a concert Eb an octave and a half below comes out.

The appropriate transpositions are taken care of in the printed music.

If you need the fingering charts, just click on "Back to the Woodwind Fingering Guide Home Page" link at the top of this page and follow the links to Saxophone.
