Perhaps the most popular tenor saxophone world wide is the Yamaha Tenor Saxophone YTS480.
Positioned between the "student" model and the "professional" model, the YTS480 (and it's predecessor the YTS475) is the perfect intermediate tenor sax.
The Tenor Saxophone is arguably the saxophone with the most "street cred". From classical music to jazz to funk to rock and everywhere in between, the tenor saxophone has seen it all.
"Make my saxophone tenor", a wise man once said. And let that be a lesson to us all.
