Sax players & gurus:
Is there a convenient alternate fingering for the written G above the
staff (concert B flat for Alto Sax)?
Am I the only listmember who actually owns an alto sax? You can get a
nice shading of the normal timbre by adding all the RH keys for low C
except the index finger. If this is the "harmonic" referred to by
others, it is dead easy to produce, but I confess it doesn't sound or
feel like a true harmonic to me.
The sound is not so different that it would be very apparent if it were
used by itself, but if it were used alternatim with the regular
fingering (like bariolage on a violin) the difference betw. the two
would be clearly audible.
As for notation, what I would do as a classical composer is not
necessarily what would be appropriate for jazz, so I'll keep my mouth
shut.
