How to choose
Match the tenor to your experience level, since key spacing and air demands are greater than on alto.
Beginner
A player moving to tenor, usually after some time on alto, should start with the Yamaha YTS-26 Student Tenor or Chateau CTS-21 for an approachable introduction to the larger horn. Build up embouchure strength gradually, since tenor needs more breath support than alto.
Intermediate
A player developing their tenor sound should consider the Jupiter Bb Tenor Saxophone JTS500A or Nuova Tenor Saxophone for improved response across registers. Experiment with reed strength, since tenor often responds well to a slightly softer reed than alto.
Expert
An advancing or professional player should look at the Yamaha YTS62 or Yanagisawa TWO1 and TWO2 for the tone depth needed in jazz and session work, or the P. Mauriat Le Bravo for its distinct matte finish and feel. Keep the horn regulated regularly and match mouthpiece choice to the musical style you play most.

About Tenor Saxophones
The tenor saxophone carries the warm, powerful tone heard across jazz and rock saxophone solos, and it demands more air and a bigger reach than alto. Many players move to tenor after starting on alto for its distinct sound.
This page runs from student instruments like the Jinbao Tenor Saxophone TS100L and Chateau CTS-21 through to professional models including the Yamaha YTS62, Yanagisawa TWO2 in bronze, and the P. Mauriat Le Bravo in gold brass matte.
