Update October 2024<\/h3>\n

I originally wrote this article more than a decade ago. The problem with it was that like many Internet-based resources, the original links broke over time. Websites went down, and no redirects were put in their place.<\/p>\n

Today I updated this article with current links and some new info. I find it as useful today as I did back in 2013 when I first wrote it. Hope you find it helpful as well. <\/p>\n

Who wouldn’t want a 45 page fingering chart?<\/h3>\n

The Swiss are known for their precision. Anyone own a Swiss-made watch? So it should come as no surprise that a saxophone player\/music instructor from Switzerland, by the name of Peter Wespi<\/a>, has developed a 45-page fingering chart for saxophones.<\/p>\n

What is surprising, is that Wespi has made this chart available free of charge, for everyone\u2014not just his students. If you would like a copy of this crazy-long, book-like fingering chart, all you have to do is go to Peter Wespi’s website, and download it. It is available in English<\/a> and German<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Now before you think: I don’t need this chart, I’ve been playing for years<\/em>, you should be aware that according to Wespi, this book was literally downloaded hundreds of times a day over the years. This would mean that tens of thousands of downloads have happened since this valuable sax resource was originally uploaded.<\/p>\n

The feedback Wespi has received indicates that this chart is being used not only by beginners, but by experienced players as well. Yes it is that good. <\/p>\n
