If you dig common sense, practicality, good technology and comfortable ergonomics, read on. The logic behind my fingering system is straightforward. This new fingering system is easy to memorize and enables the player to perform passages with great ease and rapidity.
Chromatic scales sound wonderfully smooth.
All scales, regardless of how many sharps or flats are involved, can be easily played. As you know, the conventional fingering is built around the C major scale with the sharps and flats of other scales inserted where they can fit. Because of this, many other key signatures become more difficult to play - especially the key of Db which is very awkward. My sax overcomes this problem because it is based on the chromatic scale which is the only scale to include all twelve notes of the octave. The Schmidt chromatic fingering makes perfect sense and is a pleasure to use.
