Tenor Saxophones

The neck strap for the tenor sax is the same as the alto sax.  This strap makes it easier for the player to hold the sax and play at the same time.  There really isn't that much else to say.
	The mouthpiece for the tenor is slightly larger in size compared to the alto sax.  This piece is the same type of concept as the alto though.  You blow into the mouthpiece, which vibrates the reed, which produces the sound.
The neck of this sax is much different than the alto though.  In the middle it is swerves and then it is straight again as you can see to the right.  It still has a cork on the end and it connects to the main body of the sax though.  (Just like the alto)
	The bell of this sax is bigger than the alto.  Because of this larger size bell, the sound that comes out of the instrument is much deeper.  Whoever is playing the tenor will have to have a pretty big lung span to get the right sound out of the instrument.
The keys of this sax are of course bigger and are spread farther apart.  The keys are used to close up the holes to produce a different sound so you can try different combinations to get the sound you want.  Some notes are hard to get out but if you practice you will get the right note out.  The keys are very  important and you need them to play the tenor saxophone.
