bari sax

The third largest instrument in the saxophone family, pitched in the key of E-flat one octave below the alto sax. Easily one of the sexiest instruments out there.

Found extensively in jazz and in 'band music'; can also be heard in the background music of many commercials and television shows.

Dirty Sax

A technique of saxophone playing where instead of playing straight notes, a player hums into their sax hard, causing a grinding or growling sound. Commonly used in blues, jazz, or rock music.

Danny Flores's dirty sax technique on "Tequila" made the women cream.

tenor sax

A saxophone that is lower than an alto, and higher than a bari. They are commonly used in jazz bands, and musicians who play it are often very good at soloing/improvising.

The tenor sax player was given a standing ovation for his solo.

Tenor sax

A member of the saxophone family which is placed in between the Baritone and Alto voices. This is considered one of the sweetest, smooth, melodic sounding insturments by some peoples opinion. The Tenor Sax is a favored instrument in many Jazz ensembles and Ska bands. This sax is known for being able to blast out beutiful sounding solos at fast speeds. People who play the Tenor are usually extremely suave and good looking and can usually pick up any gal they would want.

Girl 1: "Look how hot that kids over there is."
Girl 2: " Which one do u mean?"
Girl 1: " The extremely hot one wiht the Tenor Sax."
Girl 2: "Oh of course the one with the Tenor, sorry!"
