Saxophone Key Chart

Pick a root and a scale — every note renders as a key diagram. Fingerings are for written notes and are identical across the whole sax family; only the sounding (concert) pitch differs by instrument.

How to read a diagram

filled = key pressed   open = key up.

Each card shows the standard saxophone fingering for that note. Fingerings are the same for every saxophone — alto, tenor, soprano, baritone — only the sounding (concert) pitch differs by instrument.

The large keys are the main keys: left hand on top, right hand below. The octave key (left thumb) raises the note an octave. The smaller side and palm keys add the highest notes, and the pinky keys reach the lowest.

When a note has more than one common fingering, a dropdown appears on its card — switch it to see each option.
