Stagg WS-TS215S starter kit

General

After the alto saxophone, the tenor saxophone is the most common saxophone. A tenor is tuned in Bb and reads in the G clef. It sounds a none (octave + major second) lower than written. You can recognise the tenor sax by its typical S-shaped gooseneck, moreover, it is larger than the alto sax and smaller than the baritone sax. With a range from Ab2 to E5, it is therefore also between the alto and baritone. Another sax, the upright soprano sax, is tuned exactly one octave higher than the tenor. Tenor saxophones are used in classical music (chamber music), military bands, brass bands, harmonies, big bands and jazz combos, among others.
