Tenor saxophone

The tenor saxophone is a musical instrument that belongs to the saxophone family, which was invented by Adolphe Sax in the 1840s. It is larger than the alto saxophone but smaller than the baritone saxophone, producing a rich, mellow sound that is distinctive in jazz, pop, and classical music. The tenor is typically played with a single-reed mouthpiece, similar to that of a clarinet, and has a range that allows it to play both melody and harmony. Its versatility and expressive tone make it a popular choice among musicians in various genres.
