Low Notes

Hi,

I have been learning to play alto sax for the past couple of years and I'm quite happy with tone production in the middle and to an extent, the high register. However, I have an issue with the low register.

I can play the low B flat and low C, but the low B sounds exactly the same as low C.

I'm pretty sure I am fingering it properly but have attached a few images below that should show what I am doing.

Left hand


Right hand


Both hands


Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Alan

Thanks a lot for your help Dave and Pete. I was getting the fingering wrong - I misread my diagram. I also found a sticky key which wasn't helping either.

Thanks again,
Alan
