Was hard to make a sound at first but I got it after about 10 minutes or so. Putting a Saxophone togehter is a lot more than I realized, but I got it very quickly.

My son plays Alto. He is a beast with it. I got him the Cannonball Adderaly book and a CD set of Cannonball Adderaly and Sergio Mendes.

Just practice and learn your 12 scales. Scales are the foundation of music.

I played trumpet from 4th grade to college. I will pick it back up one day. It’s a great discipline to have.

Thanks. In about two years I will also get a tenor saxophone as well. I love practicing on it already

When I started playing sax in 4th grade....it was on Alto.
I was forced to switch to tenor in 10th grade since we had a shortage of tenor players in the marching band.
I didn't purchase a soprano til about 15 years ago tho.
I love the sounds of all of them except the baritone sax.
I'm loving playing the Tenor Saxophone

Nice tenor sax, Bro.

Start off with a No 2 or so reed (one that's not too hard). Listen to the greats: John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, Colman Hawkins, and Ben Webster etc...

You'll go through a ton of mouthpieces before you find the one that suits you, so take your time. I'm old school, so I still use a Berg Larsen. Most old schoolers use Otto Link though.

I don't care what anyone says, the "Tenor" is the king of saxophones. Welcome to the club. :yes:
