I really enjoy playing my alto but I am tempted to buy a tenor to add some variety to my playing. When discussed with Mrs Chadders her immediate question to me was 'Is a tenor louder than an alto', and you know I have no idea!!
So if I were to play a passage of music on an alto and then play exactly the same passage with the same amount of air pressure on a tenor with a similar reed/mouthpiece set up, would the notes be louder, or perhaps more importantly is mrs chadders likely to reach for the ear defenders quicker with a tenor than she does with the alto?
Any views?
