Merry Christmas, can any one help Me with a serial Number and Model of a Yanigasawa Tenor , Named Prima T40 serial Number 00977864, I am exshaulsted trying to find out something about this Horn. I will say that it Play's equally as well as My 74 Mark 6 Selmer...thank You Rocco,,,,roccosam@zoominternet.net — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.154.217.166 ( talk) 04:49, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Is there a source on this paragraph?
Approximately 98% of all student saxophonists start learning the instrument using the alto saxophone. Approximately 10% of student saxophonists later learn to play the tenor.

My browser doesn't show the flat sign on B-flat. I'm sure many millions of other browsers have the same problem. We don't all have the same font set as the original author. Why not write it as Bb or simply B-flat? jojo 09:22, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Please fix the flat sign to show b instead of that square shape — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.139.101.167 ( talk) 02:46, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
The article had multiple wrong 'facts' and expressed far too many individual opinions, some of which were just plain wrong. I've corrected as many of these as I can and generally 'improved' it. Also, the part about the 'American saxophone craze' and C melody saxes is self contradictory - it says the C melody sax is now obsolete and manufacture ceased in 1929, but then goes on to say this 'craze' goes right up to 2007! Perhaps someone with more knowledge than me about this alleged 'craze' could sort this out. Mickthefish 12:23, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
The image of the note range is for the alto sax, not the tenor. Click on the image to verify this error. dae, 3 june 2007 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.21.117.223 ( talk) 00:40, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

BUT... The image of the note range in the bass clef is wrong. Not enough notes.

If I am not mistaken (and I'm pretty sure I'm not) the tenor sax can go as high as a F#. However, the note range says F Natural. Please verify this, or change it. 24.5.223.164 03:21, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
Looks like it is in B♭ to me, not D. Is there a reason for this? — $PЯINGεrαgђ 04:16 18 February, 2008 (UTC)
The tenor saxaphone is not second most common to the alto. This is a mistake. The truth is that alto is more widely played in band/classical music, and tenor saxaphone is more common in rock and funk. This should be changed, but I need more information before I change it. The information I need is some other genres of music that the tenor sax is more common in than the alto. The Beatles Fan ( talk) 20:57, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
Well, the tenor sax is larger than the alto , but the point I'm making here is not the obvious.
It's the second paragraph: "easily distinguished from that instrument by the crook in its neck just ahead of the mouthpiece."
One can see that the crook is just ahead of the mouthpiece. How about "easily distinguished from that instrument by the crook in its neck." Need anything more be said?
I feel like changing it and would be happy, being a sax player, if that was so. But maybe I don't see the reason for "just ahead of the mouthpiece" that somebody does. P0mbal ( talk) 17:44, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
The picture of saxophone oddities has little to do with the article. I surmise that one of them is an oddly shaped tenor. The picture is a distraction, not relevant.
I have nothing against 'Bauhaus Walstein.' In fact, I had never heard of the brand. Why was it chosen? Others would seem more appropriate. A picture of an original Sax brand sax from the 1800's would be better. http://orgs.usd.edu/nmm/Saxophone/AdolpheSax/4039tenor/4039SaxTenor.html How about a Selmer Mark VI, the most enduring tenor of all time, treasured by legit, jazz, and pop players alike? http://www.sax.co.uk/acatalog/mksixtenbig.jpg A Conn with a lady-bell? http://img.music-oldtimer.com/instruments/saxophones/c.g.-conn_lady_face/c.g.-conn_lady_face_04.jpg A picture from the original patent? https://caravanmouthpieces.com/images/Sax_Patent_Diagr.png Jive Dadson ( talk) 06:00, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
A little confusion here. I've played sax for over 40 years and have never heard the part between the mouthpiece and the body referred to as a "crook." It's always been a "neck."
In researching on Google. I keep seeing the word "crook" used on UK sites and "neck" on USA sites. Could that be the difference? And if so, which one do we use?

Can someone fix the picture that shows the difference between written notes and played pitch? I don't know how to change it, but it should be F, not F♭as it is written, as in its current form it indicates a transposition of a minor ninth, rather than a major ninth as it actually is. -A lad insane (Channel 2) 16:07, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
