Alto Saxophone
Low F♯ on the Alto Saxophone
Written F♯4 — sounds concert A3. Tap the diagram to hear it.
The saxophone's F♯ is a fork fingering — left hand down, right index finger UP, right middle finger alone. Most horns also carry a separate alternate F♯ key beside the right ring finger that is far easier in fast chromatic runs and F♯–G♯ trills; it is not shown on this diagram.
