How To Play The Organ?

When an organ player tells the tenor saxophone player to play the song in b flat so it can be in tune with the organ player how should the song be played by tenor saxophone player?

• Answer:

  The tenor sax always plays a whole tone above concert pitch instruments like the organ. If the organist is playing in C then the tenor sax plays in D. This is because when you play lin key of C on the tenor sax you are playing in Bb concert. So you always have to raise your pitch by a whole tone in order to be in tune with the concert pitch instruments
