All of the seniors we had left this year sucked, but we Logan (a sophmore) and I (junior) are really good, and we have a lot of other really good players. I don't really think that Seniors define "best muscian."

STARWARSFAN excuse me , whats the highiest alto sax note ? That's kinda hard to say, but the upper pitch limit is simply a function of the highest mode of vibration that can be produced by the reed. It's considered limitless but in a practical sence you can go about five octaves.

I believe that he is asking for the notated range of the alto.
Ok.
It depends on your alto. Standard saxophones go up to the high F. However, optional keys allow some alto's to get a high F#.
There is this thing called Altissimo that allows you to expand upon the range and go much higher, but the true "range" is Bb to F or F# (for bari saxes, it can go to a low A)

Nappy This kid's amazing, I don't know how he does it, but my friend Collin can manage a low A on alto. I was playing bari for jazz band and I was like, "I love this thing, I get to play the low A! It's such a beast!" then he played around for a moment and somehow played it on his alto.
Ruined my fun. gonk That's awesome. I wish I could do that stuff, I can get out the low Bb, but not without a tad bit of effort. Plus, you have a nice avatar. 4laugh

I'm terrible at low notes. Amazing playing them on the bari, but it's difficult for me to go lower than a D on alto. Mostly because the music is usually in some low dynamic level. I'm hoping that a non-student-model-saxophone will help with that a little bit.
