Tenor saxophones, a bigger, more booming or huskier tone than altos and, as such, have become the main voice of blues, rock & roll, swing and commercial  music. Tenor saxophones  also take more airflow but with the right reed and mouthpiece they shouldn’t really be significantly harder work for an enthusiastic beginner. With its rich, smoky tone and warmth, for many people the tenor is the definitive sax sound.  The tenor and the alto are the two most commonly used saxophones. The tenor is pitched in the  key of Bb  (while the alto is pitched in the key of  Eb), and written as a transposing instrument in the treble clef, sounding an octave and a major second lower than the written pitch.  All models in the Odyssey range of high quality brass band and orchestral instruments have been meticulously designed down to the finest details by Peter Pollard.
