Welcome to McNeela Music, where we specialize in producing high-quality Irish instruments at an affordable price. Here we’re proud to announce our new line of Tenor Saxophones!

 

The Tenor Saxophone has been gaining notoriety in the Irish music circle in the last few years, becoming a more popular melody-playing instrument, especially in Céili Bands. However, Tenor Saxophones are still most commonly used in jazz and other contemporary artforms and musical genres.

 

Tenor Saxophones are one of the most commonly used types of Saxes (besides the Alto Sax). Tuned to the key of E flat, Tenors are bigger saxophones than altos and have a smooth and resonant tone thanks to their range and size. These factors make them incredibly versatile instruments. If you’re picking up the saxophone for the first time, picking a tenor as your starting instrument is a solid choice.
