- Range: Its standard range spans from A♭2 to E♭5, though skilled players often extend this further into the altissimo register.
- Size and Shape: The tenor has a larger mouthpiece, reed, and neck than the alto, giving it a deeper sound. Its shape, with the characteristic curve, makes it visually recognizable.
- Tone: Known for a warm, resonant, and versatile sound, the tenor can be smooth and mellow in lower registers or bright and edgy in the higher registers.
- Uses: It’s a staple in jazz ensembles, rock and pop bands, and concert bands. Its voice is flexible enough for lead lines, harmonic support, and improvised solos.
