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.

The Tenor Saxophone is an all around cool instument. It is a favored Jazz instrument and has a high range of notes playable on it. The girls that play tenor are usually a bit sarcastic and just awesome to be around. The guys that play tenor tend to get a bit cocky but should always know any girl playing tenor will always be better than them.

Boy 1: "And here I was thinking the saxophone was for men...."

One of the best sounding saxes in the entire band, the tenor sax plays a Fourth lower than the Alto Sax and a Fith higher than a Bari Sax. Tenor Saxophones often have a very mellow sound, and can carry a melody, or play harmonies and the like.
when i start playing my tenor sax, anyone in the vicinity immediately starts nodding off.

Supposedly a good instrument but is actually god awful and always cracks and squeaks whenever they are supposed to play anything whatsoever in a band. The players will always say that it's the reed or embouchure or some shit but it's actually just them and their sucky-ass instrument.
Guy 1: damn did you hear that tenor sax?
Guy 2: yeah who didn't hear that loud-ass dogshit.
Guy 1: fr fr.
