Alto Saxophone
D5 on the Alto Saxophone
Written D5 — sounds concert F4. Tap the diagram to hear it.
The same six fingers as low D with the octave key added — this is the register break, and every note above it repeats a lower fingering plus the thumb. Slur D4 to D5 with the fingers glued down and only the thumb moving; if the embouchure has to help, the air is doing too little.
