Very good comments from Notes. I didn’t mean to imply I use alternate fingerings on my sax to correct intonation. I was answering the question, is there any other way to adjust the pitch on a sax.

Now, on the trumpet family I do use alternate fingerings normally. For example, E at the top of the staff is played open on a (standard) Bb trumpet, but on most C trumpets it is more in tune with valves 1& 2.
