I am looking for an easy fingering for C6-D6-E6 on the tenor saxophone.
I know there are different fingerings for each not possible on the sax and I did study the ultimate fingering chart, which is an excellent resource.
Yet, a friend recommended me to avoid using the palm keys because they kind of slow you down, to which I agree. I also kind of feel like the sax is slipping from my hands when I play the D6, there is no "frontal support". Therefore I am trying to find another grip for D6 without a palm key, so not like this:
I do prefer to use this fingering for E6 because it is easy and fast to continue up the register this way:
So my main question is: is there any grip for D6 without using the palm key?
