It sounds the same, you just need to push in the mouthpiece into the neck. Just like saying, what would happen if you played a tenor Saxophone with an Alto Saxophone mouthpiece. I have played a tenor before with my alto sax mouthpiece. What I meant to say was to push the mouthpiece in more than you would on the alto saxophone neck. The first time I answered I didn't sign in.
What else can I help you with?
How much bigger is the tenor sax compared to alto?
Yes it does take more air to play tenor sax because it is bigger. I play tenor and i started on alto and tenor sax needs more air. It's somewhat like transitioning from a tenor sax to a barry. it takes a crapload of air for a whole note. By the way, should the sax family be: sopranino, soprano, tenor, alto, baritone, bass, contrabass in that order? I would also think that the amount of air goes up as you go from alto to tenor because it is larger in size. I can play a high D (tenor) for two bars. == ==
What kind of mouthpiece did Sam Rivers use on tenor?
On the old Blue Note albums, it looks like a hard rubber berg larsen mouthpiece. That said, I don't know how it came by the metal ring on the shank. He gets a fat and aggressive sound typical of the bergs, or possibly a small chamber Meyer mouthpiece. -JS

Who is the male tenor voice singer?
originally, yes tenor is male. but I was told that yes there is female tenors, just not alot like saprano, 2nd saprano, and alto.

I'm the only girl in my group that is a female tenor, so they are not many of us in choirs.
