  Octave key - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The octave key is a key on a saxophone or oboe which raises the pitch of all notes by an octave when pressed.
The presence of this key is one of the main features which makes the saxophone easier to play than the clarinet, because the same fingerings can be used for two different octaves.
The analogous key on the clarinet, the register key raises the pitch by an interval of a twelfth (19 semitones), making the fingerings different for low notes and high notes that are an octave apart.

 Key signature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In musical notation, a key signature is a series of sharp symbols or flat symbols placed on the staff, designating notes that are to be consistently played one semitone higher or lower than the equivalent natural notes (for example, the white notes on a piano keyboard) unless otherwise altered with an accidental.
Key signatures are generally written immediately after the clef at the beginning of a line of musical notation, although they can appear in other parts of a score, notably after a double bar.
Note that an absence of a key signature does not always mean that the music is in the key of C major or A minor: each accidental may be notated explicitly as required, or the piece may be modal, or the piece may be atonal.

 The Stealth Octave Key Circuit   (Site not responding. Last check: )
When a key is touched, the player's body capacitance is added to the capacitance of the key.
Fingering a key produces a delay that is longer than the delay of the inverter chain, thereby switching the latch output.
Pressing the second key alone moves the pitch up an octave, and pressing the third key moves the pitch down an octave, as the inverter (d) normally keeps the associated switch open.

So, for the “palm key high F#” you would press the D, Eb, and F palm keys with the left hand, the high E key with the knuckle of the right hand, and with the middle finger of the right hand, the high F# key.
For alto and soprano, this is fingered: Octave Key, front F key, RH1, high F# key.

 PART I of IV... INTRO. TO S. INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC
That is, the frequency between any key and the key immediately to its left (irrespective of the color of the key) is a constant, the constant being equal to the twelfth root of two or 1.059.
The first fl key, for example, is called 'C sharp' (C #) or 'D flat' (Db) - it is obvious that 'sharpening' essentially is a technical term for being 'one key higher' and similarly 'flattening' is one key lower in frequency than the white key in the prefix.
The four keys which are designated as ri and ga are called the 'bottom tetrachord' (in Indian terminology, 'Poorvaangam') and similarly the four keys corresponding to dha and ni are called the 'upper tetrachord' or 'Uttaraangam'.

 Normans
This type of key work configuration is unique to the UK and (as the name suggests), includes a key for use with the thumb on the back of the instrument.
Unlike clarinets, where the number of keys and key configuration has become fairly standardized, the number and layout of keys on an oboe can vary dramatically - particularly with expensive professional models.
Automatic models (as their name suggests) automatically open and close the relevant octave key when various fingering combinations are engaged.

If you try to adjust the third octave key, and it doesn't work at all (after you've checked to be sure it's not completely shut), you may have a simple repair problem on your hands.
Sometimes, depending on how much pressure you use on the third octave key, as well as how strong the metal is in the first place, a third octave key can get pushed right into the back of the first octave key.
If this is not the case, the first octave key is accidentally being opened when you use the third octave key.

Notes that are an octave apart, or a whole number of octaves apart, sound in some ways like the same note and have the same letter for their names.
Octave can do arithmetic for real and complex scalars and matrices, solve sets of nonlinear algebraic equations, integrate functions over finite and infinite intervals, and integrate systems of ordinary differential and differential-algebraic equations.

 Soprano sax crook springs
The design of the crook octave key is similar on a number of brands and the problem is that opening the key to its fullest extent bends the spring which powers the key.
Middle shows what happens when the key is opened fully, with the key barrel acting as a fulcrum point over which the spring is bent.
The drawback of this method is that sometimes the action of the key feels less than snappy with a double bend in the spring.

 Fabrication of Prosthetic Key
I sent John pictures of key modifications I had done for other players, and of extensions my old friend, the late Santy Runyon, had done on his own instruments.
Rather than fabricating and soldering on brass extensions to the G key touches of his tenor sax and flute, I suggested he use plexiglass, cut to shape, with the edges rounded and smoothed, and polished to a nice transparent finish.
I have made wedges for octave key touches, low C and low Bb spatulas, and on one instrument, built up over the oval pearl of the chromatic F# key using shaped plexiglass pieces.
