She never does this, but....

I need to know the pitch tendency of my instrument's notes (Alto Sax)and the pitch tendency of each part of a chord (1st,2nd,3rd). Like, does the fourth of a chord tend to be sharp, flat, or is it usually in tune? 1st-7th of a chord. And G(#),A,B,C(#),D,E,F(#) especially A and B.

Halp?
I can't find something in Simple English on google.
I know SOMEONE has to know this.

Mkay, I used to play alto saxophone...but sadly, I do NOT REMEMBER because I don't remember ever needing to know that unless you're in...music theory or something, in which I am sorry.

I felt like posting to bump up your thread, though, my fellow saxophone player! dramallama

I can't help you with the chord tendancies, but as for your instrument, that is something you can't find on the internet.

Every instrument, and I don't mean every alto sax or anything like that, I mean your personal instrument that you actually play on, has different tendancies. Nobody knows the tendancies of your instrment but youself. The best way to find these is by playing with a tuner.

All I can say is that C# is almost always out of tune. It tends to be really sharp.
