Erm it might just be me but this middle C sharp is just horrible!

How on earth can I get it sounding nice!? I hate playing anything with loads of C#'s in it like Binge concerto 2nd movement.

Help!!

Ive had this problem to, i think there has been a conversation about this previously, but a reminder would be good!!

Need a solution not a reminder!!!

Are you turning it out too far?

Sax ma' dear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah. Ooops. Again with specifying.

I've had a long day ok!

Ok hmm forgiven!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In my defence, you can play about 50 million instruments. *sniff*

Hmph.

But when the word 'sax' is in the title?!!

Ooops. I had a long day, ok!

Not helpful!!!!

Looks like we are just stuck with disgusting C sharps then Kate!

This thread has what looks like a solution in it, posted by DavidMusic.

Ooh! Thanks!

I think I've posted on here once before that I often play the middle C# by fingering the low C# then adding the octave key. This creates a C# that has a similar tone to the upper register (the lower part of the upper register, anyway) so it's useful when moving between the upper register and C# because it produces a more consistent sound.

It can also be an easier fingering to move from D down a semitone to C# then back up to D since it only involves moving two fingers rather than 7! Though sometimes it's far more difficult to finger it this way, for example when moving up a semitone from C. It's something to experiment with, anyway.
