Tenor Saxes

The tenor is one of the most common types of saxophones. It's pitched in the key of B♭, and written as a transposing instrument in the treble clef, sounding an octave and a major second lower than the written pitch. Modern tenor saxophones which have a high F# key have a range from A♭2 to E5 (concert) and are therefore pitched one octave below the soprano saxophone. Although they started off as being designed for use within military bands, the tenor sax has since become a key component of a lot of traditional and modern jazz music. We stock tenor saxes from such reputable brands as Paris, Yanagisawa, Buffet, Selmer and Yamaha.
