Just (about 2 hours ago) bought my first Tenor, its an Elkhart II, to go with my Trevor James Alto Horn.
The first thing i noticed was i needed more air to play it.
The second thing i noticed was that it was much easier to play (after 30 mins familiarisation).
The third thing was that i can play it really quietly.
Now this has got me thinking, was there a problem with my TJ?
When i played Pink Panther (well, i have only been playing 2-3 months), it was VERY hit and miss if i could get high E or not, but with the tenor its MUCH easier.
