New players might be saying here,"What is this guy going on about, Bb and not A#? Why?" Music theory 101: The diatonic scale goes up the alphabet each letter without repeating. So if you had a Bb major scale, you would have Bb C D Eb F G A. That goes up each letter with no repeats. Yes, the A# note is the same as a Bb note, but an A# diatonic scale would be A# C D D# F G A. That doesn't make sense as a scale, it doesn't have a B and the D repeats, as well as the A. That's why it's a Bb scale, and not an A# scale.

It's a Bb Tenor Saxophone! Recent Activity 2 New MembersVisit Your Group Yahoo! News Odd News You won't believe it, but it's true New business? Get new customers. List your web site in Yahoo! Search.
