If A soprano sax is 4 pitches higher than an alto sax, does that mean that, a soprano sax have the same exact fingerings and read the same noted just and octave apart?

That's right. The soprano sax music looks the same but sounds an octave higher. But a soprano sax is harder to play.

Yes the fingering are all the same for every single saophone u find out there <b>except</b> for the really old ones were the low b and c# key are switched. Even though the fingerings are the same for the same note written on a music the soprano and tenor will be playing the same pitch an octave apart <b>but</b> the alto, bari, and sopranino which are in Eb will give you a totally different pitch.

i'm sorry my typing was like screwed up on this one, i just looked at it again, it supposed to say:
If a soprano sax is 4 pithces hiher than an alto sax, does that mean that a soprano and a tenor read the same notes and are the fingerings for a specific note the same, like a C fingering on alto sounds different (in pitch) than the C fingering on soprano and tenor.
sorry again,
Nick
