I switched to tenor because one of the things I hated about my alto was how discussing the low notes like low c, d, and e sounded. And that I didn’t get to play those low notes as often as I would want to. The tenor may have some melodies but most of the time it is either to counter melody or support. Which I don’t mind.

It's nice to hear just the saxophone playing again. My daughter, back when she was in school was in Jazz band, played tenor sax. Went on to marching band in high school. I love the sound of the tenor sax, always have. But now, it's nostalgic for me. I miss hearing her practice down the hall. (She was a singer too.. miss all the music she provided the house.) Thanks for playing. ~Empty Nest Mama

I think they both have their uses! The alto had a very warm, sweeter mid-ranged based sound, while the tenor had more treble, was brighter, and, if this makes any sense, had a bit more of a bite to it! Both sound amazing, I guess it just depends on what serves the song best...

thanks for this, am considering giving the sax a try, just what I needed to hear - these sound closer than I expected, although of course you're not exploring the tenor's better "darker" side.

I must be the only person on KZfaq that just prefers the timbre of the Alto sax over Tenor. I notice a VERY strong preference for the latter on forums etc. Maybe it's just years of Parker and Cannonball has informed my ear that's just what I view as the perfect sax 'sound' but man I just love something about alto. Muffled isn't the right word but the sound on alto is more 'bunched up' than the tenor's blowy openness. I'm sure that can be affected by mpc/reed strength etc. though. Really interesting to hear them side by side.

I have a alto sax ,I've learned all the notes but really haven't done much else with it ,,it's a little loud I need a better spot to practice ,I was thinking I should have bought a tenor ,but after hearing the comparison I like the alto better ,those lines you played with the alto sounded nice and jazzy ,really crisp ,trumpet like ,,what key was the second part of the comparison in ? And what was it you were playing ? I like to practice guitar 🎸 and got a sax to add to it to try and make some of my own music ,but noticed quickly that after learning the notes I would have to transpose everything to play in key w the guitar ,so I guess I can look at it two two ways ? From alto to guitar three semi tones down ,or think of the guitar to alto three semi tones up ,, trying to find a easy way of thinking about it

Question: Can you get that crisp sound that you hear on this Tenor on an Alto? I feel like, everytime I hear an Alto (which I‘m also playing) it always sounds quite soft. Not airy, soft. And when I‘m listening and looking for this crisp sound (like in the Detective Conan theme) it always turns out to be a tenor sax. Is that a thing? Or is it an issue that can be solved with the right Reed, mouthpiece, over-/underblowing?

Hey, thanks for the comment! That technique is called growling, and there’s basically 2 ways to do it. 1) Sing while you play! It’s feels quite unnatural at first but that’s the proper way to do it. Or 2) Loosen your embouchure in the corner of your mouth so you create a buzzing sound while you play (air will escape out the corner of your mouth).

Was in jazz band a number of years and wanna get into tenor again. Recommend brands for sub $1k usd? I'm no student, but. I've been out of the game for ten years

I think second hand Yamaha saxes (TS-100 or YTS-23) offer the best value for money, otherwise Jean Paul make great new saxes under 1k too. You can check out this video for a bit more info: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fa6Gl7Vp09HHpnk.html

I notice that Jeremy is using a silver color alto this time. Is there a preference in color with professionals? It looks like most use the gold color. I haven't seen any black, blue, red ... etc. being used by professionals.

Hey Steven! Great question - the bright, multi colored saxophones you see online are generally only available in beginner models, professional saxophones don't normally come in those colours. The common options for professional saxophones are: 1) Clear lacquer (brass colour) 2) Silver plated 3) Gold plated The lacquer / plating can affect the sound, but opinions are a bit divided about how much affect it actually has. Personally, I got a silver plated saxophone because my old saxophone teacher used to play one, and I wanted to be like him!

For me I'd love to learn how to play the sax myself. I think tenor would have to be for me

Looks like music is coming easier out of the alto

Question: started on a Tenor(rental)recently and have no problems except the weight which really is too much for my neck ( and I don't much like the look of those harnesses). I find it fairly easy to blow even though it does take a lot of air when practicing long notes: my question is that as I can't go out and try currently, if I buy a sax Im thinking of getting an alto just for the weight difference but is it harder to blow i.e. does it need more 'pressure' I ask because Im getting on and a bit feeble! thanks

@@JoshBuker thank you Josh- I was unsure as someone said it needed more 'Pressure' for the alto. Such a hassle not being to be able to go out and try them! :)
