Tenor Saxophone

1. An instrument that is superior in all ways to any other saxophones,
especially the alto. The ultimate sex machine, designed initially to woo ladies
and cause spontaneous pants removal, but later used in jazz music. The weapon
of choice for godly figures, like Thor and Mars.

2. An instrument that requires a hefty amount of hallucinogenic drugs to
generate the optimal improvisational solo.

3. A tool of great justice.
1. "Damn, Michael Brecker can do whatever the hell he wants to with a tenor
sax."

"Yeah, I bet he can feed hungry orphans with that thing."

2. "Dude, Coltrane must have been smoking something good when he played Giant
Steps, because these changes are fucking redonkulous."

3. " And then I foiled his evil plan with my Tenor Saxophone."

Tenor

The highest male singing voice. Usually plays the hero, the lover in opera or musical plays. They get all of the best pieces written for the male voice.

The countertenor has the normal range, speaking and singing, as a regular tenor, but is capable of singing in the contralto, mezzo-soprano, and, sometimes, even soprano ranges. They use falsetto, rather than their lower range, when singing.

The lyric tenor is the lighter, sweeter sounding, while the dramatic tenor has a stronger, richer, more heroic voice.
There's the Heldentenor, and he looks interested in the dramatic soprano, all decked out in her brass chestplate and horned helmet.
