I've recently bought my first tenor, a Couesnon monopole conservatoire via ebay. I have read the online model review. I like it and am enjoying playing it but I've noticed it is much smaller and lighter than my wife's TJ Revolution II tenor.
I've been playing trombone for 30+ years and are well aware that all the major manufacturers make trombone models in a range of sizes according to musical genre. Smaller trombones are typically brighter, clearer, punchier, jazzier whereas larger trombones are typically darker, fatter, richer, orchestral. I have both and can pick according to the gig.
I'm not considering buying another sax for some time although I also have a G4M bari. I am curious whether there are any equivalent considerations for saxes and in particular, tenors. Is it a case of different models or manufacturers? Any thoughts?
