You can find a few different fingering charts for saxophone. The fingering system for all saxophones is the same – alto, tenor, soprano, bari (and even the more exotic ones).
The saxophones are not all in the same pitch though, so a ‘C’ on tenor saxophone is not the same as a ‘C’ on alto saxophone. However, a ‘C’ on tenor saxophone is an octave lower than a ‘C’ on soprano saxophone.
There are a few saxophone altissimo finger charts online too, I’m looking through a few of them.
I was working on flute a little bit the other day, have just played it a little bit. The upper notes are interesting in that they’re somewhat like the lower notes, but with bigger differences.
Overall, the fingering system for saxophone (and clarinet and flute) isn’t quite as intuitive as a piano. It does fit pretty well to your hands though.
Knowing the alternate fingerings can give you a bit of an edge in playing things more smoothly.

Altissimo Chart for alto and tenor

What is better? Baritone Sax or Tenor Sax
It’s a matter of preference, they’re both cool. If I had to pick one, I would pick tenor.
I play tenor and alto to a reasonable standard, boughta ConnSelmer sopranoand can’t get on with it!!
Warble, especially on lower notes – so – mouthpiece, ligatire or reeds???
When I moved to tenor from alto you helped me a great deal and I am now struggling almost to the point of putting the soprano in its case and hiding it !
Is it a new soprano? Or a vintage one?
It’s probably you not being used to the instruments. Possibly needing repair if it’s an older horn.
