When an organ player tells the tenor saxophone player to play the song in b flat so it can be in tune with the organ player how should the song be played by tenor saxophone player?
The tenor sax always plays a whole tone above concert pitch instruments like the organ. If the organist is playing in C then the tenor sax plays in D. This is because when you play lin key of C on the tenor sax you are playing in Bb concert. So you always have to raise your pitch by a whole tone in order to be in tune with the concert pitch instruments

When a organ player tells a tenor saxophone to play a b flat to be in tune to his organ what scale do he play?
A note played on tenor sax sounds one full step lower (actually an octave and a step, but you can ignore the octave). Play a C and it sounds like a B-flat. If you want to transpose music written for organ or piano, write the new part one note higher and change the key signature by taking away two flats or adding two sharps. the organist can probably help with the key signatures if that's confusing.

Is a b flat clarinet the same notes as a tenor saxophone?
Take the upper octave fingerings of the B flat clarinet (D in the staff to a D above the staff) and they produce the same notes on the tenor saxophone. On tenor saxophone, you would use the same fingerings for notes regardless of which octave you are in (for example: a D in the staff is the same fingering as a D below the staff) either adding the octave key to make the note higher or lower. The only inconsistencies with no relation between clarinet and tenor are the fingerings for C (middle key in the left hand on tenor) and C sharp (no keys down on tenor) Notes in the octave above the staff are different from clarinet to tenor as well.
What concert is C major on the scale sheet?
A "concert" note refers to the sound that an instrument will make when the note C is fingered. Clarinets and trumpets are concert Bb instruments. A saxophone is a concert Eb instrument. This question makes no sense the way it is phrased since concert tuning refers to the relationship between what you will hear when C instruments play a C and what other instruments will sound like. What do you mean by a scale sheet? Are you trying to ask how the sound of the note C relates to another tone?

On E-flat instruments (alto and baritone saxophone, alto clarinet), concert F is written D. On A instruments (A clarinet, piccolo trumpet), concert F is written A-flat. On G instruments (alto flute, G bugle), concert F is written B-flat.
Can you use a sax reed for a clarinet?
Well yes and no. When you finger a note on alto and tenor the notes in the relative key (Bb for tenor and Eb for alto) are fingered the same way. So a C on an alto and a C on a tenor are fingered the same way, but sound different. On tenor it's a concert Bb, when on alto it's a concert Eb. But for fingering purposes and just generally learning the instrument, yes.
