128 notes per octave on Alto Saxophone - Philipp Gerschlauer

This video is the result of a technical exercise. If you want to find out more about it, please read an essay I wrote for the "Clarinet and Saxophone Society of Great Britain": https://www.cassgb.org/features/post/...

I play a regular Selmer Super Balanced Action alto saxophone from 1951 (no high F# key).

I have made a workbook about it. You can order your copy of my „Microtonal Fingering Chart for Alto Saxophone“ including around 600 fingerings at my website.

Johnny Reinhard wrote an essay about a division of the octave into 128 notes. Find „eighth octave overtone tuning“ here: http://www.afmm.org/books.html

Thanks to Nina Rotner, Andreas Schmidt, Liz Kosack and of course Johnny Reinhard.
