Good tips Jay. I do find that a couple of things make it easier: harder reed, high baffle mouthpiece.

If you can learn it on a classical mouthpiece, it’ll make it pop so much easier on different mouthpieces

For all you saxophone players out there … this short has to be the most important video you’ll ever watch regarding trying to play Altissimo on saxophone, shy of giving you actual fingerings that will allow altissimo notes to speak most easily on different saxophones, the rest of what Jay says here is spot on for sure!

I've never gotten as high as palm D with overtones and yet I can play an octave of altissimo. While it probably is true that any mouthpiece can do altissimo it could still be the moutpiece holding you back. I couldn't get G# - B altissimo on my tenor but could get C upwards. New mouthpiece: all notes work. Some months later I was able to do all notes on the first moutpiece.

Any mouthpiece can play altissimo, however if reed is too soft, it will be more difficult.

@shipsahoy1793 Жыл бұрын
Lol, I’ve been taking that approach for quite awhile now. It does help you to NOT rely on the palm keys for high E, F, and F#. That’s true for both alto and tenor. I can’t speak for Bari or soprano or any other saxophone, because I don’t have any of those saxes.🥲😉

I can play chromatically from bottom to top all the way to altissimo C However Altissimo G+ G# pose the most difficulty for me no matter which fingering I use.

At the moment I've taught myself a totally useless technique I call "Stupissimo" It's where you put your teeth on your reed to make that dreaded squeak, except you learn to control it grammatically. It's about an octave above the altissimo range on the alto sax. Pretty unconventional, but it's fun to screw with and helped me learn the ombechure fundamentals of altissimo!
