Alto Saxophone
C♯5 on the Alto Saxophone
Written C♯5 — sounds concert E4. Tap the diagram to hear it.
Everything up: no fingers and no octave key. As the top note of the first register with the whole tube open, it is the thinnest-sounding note on the horn — support it with more air rather than a tighter embouchure, and expect to hear it settle only once the air is truly steady.
