Intonation


All saxophones have notes that are inconsistent. 
  1. Low Bb through D# are typically sharp.
  2.  Low E through middle C# are flat.
  3. Middle D through high F are sharp.

The way you can correct these are by either using alternate fingerings, or change your embouchure to provide the proper tuning for these notes. Be sure to not sacrifice tone for the intonation.
