Can you soak a tenor sax in water?
ABSOLUTELY not. You should never soak any instrument in water, especially a saxophone. Although trombone players can run water through their slide to clean it up, a saxophone player doesn't have that luxury. A saxophone is a very complex instrument as I'm sure you already know. Saxophones are one of the more expensive instruments in the band, and they should be taken care of that way too. I'm sure you also know that saxophones have pads under the keys. Soaking these pads will ruin the saxophone either quickly or eventually. Getting pads replaced in a sax is a big expensive job. If you're looking to clean your saxophone, purchase a swab to push through it a couple of times. That is how we clean our saxes! Take care of the horn, it's the best instrument in the band. ; )

The saxophone uses a reed, which vibrates against the mouthpiece to produce vibrations which result in sound. When you depress the keys on a saxophone, it lengthens or shortens the 'pipe' in the saxophone which will determine the pitch of the saxophone. the saxophone has pads which press against the key holes to make airtight seals, and the fingerkeys are often made of Mother-of-Pearl. The reed is attached to the mouthpiece with something called a ligature, which securely holds the reed in place. There are 4 common sizes of saxophone, and in order from smallest to largest they are, Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Baritone. Saxophones often have 3 parts; the body, the neck and the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece is attached to the neck and then the neck is attached to the body. These are just some of the millions of facts about the saxophone.
