The fingerings for these notes can be quite complex.

One fingering between F and Eb is rather clumsy, while another one can be done smoothly. This combination of two notes doesn’t come up all the time, but it does enough that’s it’s good to note a better transition.

No not the altissimo range which are played by pure thought I think, but the ones played by the palm keys. Of course, because the saxophone is a transposing instrument, the same fingering chart applies whether you play soprano, alto, baritone or tenor saxophone.

After that we have charts for the other notes. They take you from D3 to F#3. Saxophone High Note Fingerings – F to Eb. You’ll see the complete saxophone high notes finger chart there. The middle range on the sax is relatively easy to play compared to the bottom few notes and the upper register. The altissimo range of the saxophone consists of many notes higher than the “standard” range that is taught in elementary and intermediate stages of learning (up to F or F# with instruments that have that key). In the 5 months I’ve been playing the saxophone, so far I have managed to avoid playing those pesky high notes.

If you are not familiar with the finger positions for those last few high notes of the saxophone’s range called the “palm key notes” then you can learn them here.
