Re: how to tell key of sax
It could be that your mouthpiece isn't far enough on the horn, and that if you push the mouthpiece on further, the pitch could raise to A# (which is, of course, Bb). That would be normal for the saxophone. The F would sound as a D# (Eb).
Yes, it can be common for the saxophone to require more work from the player to play the different octaves in tune.
