| Altissimo
The higher note or upper range of the saxophone develop
based on the harmonic element of the sound described
in the overtone series.-the extreme upper register of
the saxophone or other woodwind instruments. On saxophone,
it is sometimes referred to as the "Third Octave
To made the note that was not register on the saxophone,
the saxophonist trained to voice the higher note with
the key in the range of the harmonic.
Beginners often have difficulty producing the low notes
or "bell tones" and the high notes or "palm
keys." Only the advanced saxophone player with
the well-developed embouchure can produce the high tone
as they hear the tone how it sound when he attempted
to play Therefore, playing higher note to extending
your song and the effect of the note should be warm
as the register sound in the head register.
Further the practice strengthens and reinforces the
lower note. On to the way to reach to the higher level
of performance, most the player can clamp up to the
highest note that can play. The knowledge of the harmonic
series from instrument as well as relaxed embouchure
combines with the quantity of air just enough to reach
the high tone desired We mention the pitch that is the
important matter to how to achieve the correct pitch
when produced..
The extended range or "altissimo register"
should not be explored until the player has a firm grasp
of proper breathing, embouchure, and tone production
Before exercise the high tone with finger register,
suggested that overtone need to be done well and manner
that confidently to produce the correct tone. But advanced
players of the saxophone know very well that it is possible
to produce High F#:
Finger the standard auxiliary front F key (first finger
of left hand on the aux F and 2nd finger on the C key)
-- add side Bb
High G: (No multiphonic)
Finger the auxiliary front F key (first finger of left
hand) without holding down the C key, add side Bb and
right hand F finger.
High G: (with multiphonic)
B and G in the left hand, F and D in the right
High G#: (overblowing will get a weak
multiphonic)
Same as G (non-multi) above, only lift right hand F
key
High A: (No multiphonic)
Same as G# (non-multi), add C trill side key
High A: (multiphonic)
A and G of left hand with E and D in the right
High Bb: (non-multi)
Finger middle D, lift left hand B finger, add D palm
key
High B: (No multiphonic)
A and G in left hand, F and D in right, add D and Eb
palm keys
High B: (Multiphonic)
Finger middle D and overblow the harmonics of the note
High C: Option 1
B and G in the left hand with F and D in the right
High C: Option 2
Finger standard high C (C + octave key) and add D and
Eb palm keys
oduce another octave or more via the use of natural
harmonics above written F# . The use of these harmonics
is common today, in jazz and improvisation, studio and
classical performance.
