Note above fa

Answer:

SOL

Hint:

This pitch is the fifth note in the do-re-mi scale and shares its name with our solar system's star.

Explanation:

This clue plays on the musical scale, where "fa" is the fourth note in the solfège system (do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti). The word "above" hints at the next note in the sequence, which is "sol." It’s a straightforward reference—no hidden wordplay, just a nod to how notes follow one another in order.
