Saxophone Hub — transpositions, fingerings and riffs

The saxophone is a transposing instrument: the written note isn't the note that sounds. The Saxophone Hub settles that once and for all, for all four saxes (soprano, alto, tenor, baritone), with fingerings, a comparison tool and a big library of riffs.

Exact transpositions for all 4 saxophones

Soprano and tenor are in Bb, alto and baritone in Eb. The hub instantly converts between the concert (real) note and the played note for each sax, and shows the staff with the right key signature — no more mental math in the middle of a song.

Fingerings on a clickable saxophone

An interactive saxophone outline shows the fingering for every note: you click, you see the keys to press. Perfect for brushing up on high notes, altered notes or a passage that keeps tripping you up.

Compare, and feed your playing

A comparison tool puts side by side what the alto and the tenor play on the same concert note. The hub also offers a selection of classic riffs sorted by genre and by level, an overview of saxophonists and styles & grooves to work on your phrasing.

Frequently asked questions

Is the alto saxophone in Eb?

Yes. The alto (like the baritone) is in Eb: to sound a concert C, you read/play an A. The hub does the conversion automatically both ways.

Which note do I play on tenor for a concert C?

The tenor is in Bb: for a concert C, you play a D. The Saxophone Hub shows the match for every note.

How do I find the fingering for a note?

Click the note on the interactive saxophone: the keys to press appear on the outline of the instrument.

Is the tool free?

Yes, the Saxophone Hub is included in the Maurisson Music Hub, free and ad-free.
