How do you finger a F note on the alto sax?

Answer 1

Start with your left thumb on the black circle on the back at the top... and your right thumb hooked into the hook at the back.

No fingers at all will produce the pitch of C#

Then, working downwards,

left hand

index finger being finger 1

Top/Left Hand

1 = B

1 and 2 = A

2 = C

1, 2 and 3 = G

adding Right/Bottom hand to 3 fingers down on the left hand

1 = F

1 and 2 = E

1,2 and 3 = D

Adding the speaker key (the one above the black circle operated with the side of the left thumb) will make all of these notes and Octave higher.

the operational range of the Saxophone is about 2 and a half octaves, covering from Lowest B to the highest F# keyed note. However, higher notes can be reached using harmonics/overtones and the altissimo register.

Answer 2

You press the three buttons that you would push if you were playing a G. Then add the three keys you need to play D and take away the one that's being pressed by your ring finger.

Answer 3

Do you mean F sharp or natural? I will give you both. For F sharp, you press the thumb key, all three on your top hand, then your middle finger on the bottom. To drop that an octave, release the thumb key. For F natural, It's the exact same thing, except instead of the middle finger on your bottom hand, use your index, or pointer finger.

Answer 4

all of the keys on your right hand. all of the keys of your left hand. the right pinkie key nearest the bottom of the sax.

Answer 5

First two keys on your upper hand, then the bottom side key on your right hand;
