What is the range in octaves on a saxophone?
The written range of a saxophone usually goes from a low Bb (two spaces below the staff) to a high F (four spaces above the staff). This is sometimes expanded depending on the individual instrument, and whether or not the player can play in overtones. However, every saxophone is different in terms of concert pitch. For example, although a baritone and alto sax can read the same music, the baritone saxophone will sound an octave lower than the alto. Also, since saxophones are almost always pitched in Eb or Bb, the concert pitches are not the same as the written pitches.
