Saxophone beginners High G key?

[MellowD]

Oh go on live a little... 'Just put your lips together and blow' while pressing on the unidentified keys... who knows what might happen

Thats all very well, I can blow - yeah - but how do I know how to identify what happened?

Ask the cat??? Seriously, do you have a tuner that shows the nore being played. Just going to find mine this moment.

Oooh Mel you're not neglecting your chromatic scales up and down the full range of your instrument are you? ;}

Thank you! You made me go take a look at my fingering charts, and I had thought I had so much farther to go for the standard range - and I find there's only 6 semitones that I'm not yet playing and need to add to my repertoire - albeit they are all the ones which were in the music I sat out on at the new band practice yesterday LOL! Guess I'll be spending time on those this week.

Whooo be able to use nearly all the buttons on my sax!

Personally I have a thing against high holes.

But D, D#, E and F are ok?

Justabout...
Our world will be a better place without high F#, high G, low A, electricity and the metric system.

Cat or tuner? Cat would cost more to feed and might not be so reliable in identifying the note....

Ha ha haa, well done! Left myself wide open for that one didn't I!

I already have three cats (which is the least number we've had in a while) and two dogs - so clearly they haven't demonstrated they are up to the job adequately

Cue Targa for a suitably catty retort...

So if the two non-inlaid additional keys at High F sharp and High G - whats the inlaid button just below them? I thought that was the High F sharp as per normal?

I'm assuming that's the side F/F# trill key. Meaning normal low F/F#. I never use that one myself - at least not so far.

Yes. Useful when you need to go from F to F# or from E# to F#. Much easier in a chromatic run from E to G for instance.

Would that be cats, or clarinets?
