How to Play a Fully Diminished B Chord on the Saxophone

MIYANNA NIELSEN: Okay, here we have B, D, F, and A flat. Incidentally, you're probably noticing by now that the same sequence of notes has begun to repeat. Using two pointers here in other hand, but in the left hand, you're using four fingers. And when you got on from the pointer in the right hand, you're using three.
