My alto has no F# key. Up to now this hasn't been a problem as I haven't played it that much and simply not needed to go that high. However, as more people keep asking me to play with their bands, plus it looks like I'm going to be the only sax player in the R&B band I'm putting together (at least for the time being) I really need to be able to hit this note.
Except I can't.
Using the high F and C keys gives me a pitch perfect high F (unlike the palm keys for F which are somewhat flat) but I can't get F# to sound using any of the fingerings I can find. Even Nick's fingerings don't seem to work.
Can anyone with a vintage alto and no F# key let me know how you hit this note, please?
