The octave key is known as speaker key on some woodwinds. Aka register key. Oboes and clarinets for instance. Hence Jbtsax' reply.Not sure i understand, speaker key?
On Bassoons they are called whisper keys - god only knows why they're called that because most bassoons when played the keywork sounds like a typewriter! perhaps they should be called the space bar key!
Griff,
You are very welcome back into CaSLM terroritory but if you nick my jokes regarding vintage sax engravings (Breakfast Room passim) without attribution............................................................................
I recently found that B (lh 1st finger) and high E key with no octave key gives a clear D2 and seems pretty well in tune (well to my old ears anyway)Not sure i understand, speaker key? never heard of it. But middle D can sound a bit ****e sometimes, i finger low B to even things out, can use D palm as well.
