Tenor Saxophones The tenor saxophone is a medium-sized member of the saxophone family, a group of instruments invented by Adolphe Sax. Modern-day tenor saxophones are transposing instruments, pitched in the key of B-flat. This means that when a tenor saxophonist plays the note C, the actual pitch that sounds is a B-flat, a major ninth lower. The tenor saxophone is used in many ensembles such as concert band, marching band, jazz ensemble, and occasionaly in symphony orchestras. In concert bands, it often has a supporting role, unlike the alto saxophone, sometimes sharing parts with the euphonium and trombone.
