Because of the use of the microtones is becoming more and more usual, I decided to do a chart with the most accurate fingerings for the baritone saxophone in terms of intonation and sonority. You will find here different fingerings for all quarter-tone notes from low C#/Db to treble E.

This chart is the continuation of the Altissimo Fingerings with quarter tones, I posted some time ago. I collected the fingerings I used in all my different baritones throughout my career (some of them didn’t have the C5 key or the keys #5 -E- and #6 -D- independents) and compared them in order to check its repercussion on the intonation. You will also find some correction fingerings in brackets.

I hope that you will find it helpful.
