My right hand works the top of the Alto. I decided to adapt new names to the available Alto keys. Now I call the Alto's "B" an E, the Alto A is now D, Alto's G is now C, Alto's C is now F, Alto's C# is now F#, Alto's palm D is now G, etc. When I want a C chord (for my tenor), I can easily decide which two notes to play: Tenor's C with Alto's [new] E (or Eb), tenor's G with Alto's [new] E (or Eb), tenor A/alto's C, tenor Bb/Alto E, etc. in both octaves! No more transposing or guessing. Try it

The second key plate on the alto to hit the notes on the low end with one hand was a genius idea!

In order to make more harmony in 3rds with the Tenor, I added a two "spatula keys" system on the Alto for the right pinky, to close: F & F# in the Alto's lower stack. This is the equivalent of Bb & B relative to the Tenor's G. It permits harmony in 3rds throughout the Tenors range from G up. Examine Roland Kirk's videos; you will see similar 'extra' key work on his horns to achieve more range and/or better harmony . Some see this as cheating. I see it as FUN! thanks :)
