Are saxophone fingerings really just like a flute's?

Best Answers

A major similarity between sax and flute, and a difference with the clarinet, is that they overblow in the octave, as opposed to the clarinet which overblows in the twelfth. So for both the same note in the basic octave and the second octave have largely the same fingering. read more

Not just like, but very similar. The saxophone has a lot of additional keys, far more than a flute (though fewer than clarinet) so there are some fingerings in the low and high register that don’t exist on the flute at all. read more
