I’m a tenor sax player but I always hear “freedom” when you play your alto.
-
Great video, Mike!
-
Man, my brass band bought me a new tenor, but i still wish we had alto in the band, it just sounds so good.
-
I keep telling myself I don't need an alto (I have four tenors)...but I see you post one of these again and I start itching.

You've definitely piqued my interests Mike! I love the tenor and the bass but they can be untameable monsters at times🧟♂️ Yes, I've pretty much given up on the bass (and my Tuba too) but definitely not the tenor. I've decided instead to grab the bull by the "horn" in this case and bent my bell up like Dizzy. It gives me a more novel and exciting approach however, no surprise it can be even more of a monster🧌 I'm going to give your encouragement serious consideration. Do you find is easier to read treble clef and does that approach lend itself to reading alto or bari sax charts?
