alto or tenor saxophone

by siobhan

So i've decided to take up the saxophone and wondering what the difference in sound is like between the alto and the tenor. I understand that most people start with the alto but that its acceptable for adults to start learning on the tenor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!I'm a teacher of music in Ukraine and i strongly recommend you choose a tenor saxophone if you are looking for the easier way. from my own 10 years experience of teaching music i know, that tenor sax is much easier to produce quality sound for the most of my pupils.but if you learnt produce a real alto sound it will be great !
