Student Tenor Saxophones

The term “Student Tenor Saxophones” can mean MANY different things in the current market. Many people (players, teachers & parents) might assume that it would indicate that the design of the saxophone was made specifically to help a younger player learn to play saxophone. However, some manufacturers might instead offer an inferior designed instrument so that you “need” to upgrade to a better saxophone sooner.

We are here to help. We scour the industry to find the best products that offer you the best value and offers the player the best performance! In the occasion that we feel that the industry is no longer offering you the best value, we then go out and make it ourselves with our Kessler Custom line of products.

The mouthpiece used on student tenor saxophones is actually MORE important than the saxophone itself! The mouthpiece is the first piece of equipment that the player uses to create their sound, a sound that the saxophone only amplifies. Having a great mouthpiece makes all the difference in the world. Below are just some of the mouthpieces that we might recommend for student saxophone players.

The saxophone reed commonly gets overlooked when it relates to student musicians. It’s true that students are not necessarily going to be the pickiest about their reed, but that doesn’t mean that they should ignore the quality of their reed either. When students are just starting out, the reed does not need to be a high end reed. There are a plethora of student priced reeds that are there to help keep the cost down. Many players though never move beyond their basic “student” reed as soon as they should and their performance growth can suffer.

Below is a listing of reeds that are either great student reeds or more importantly, great second-level reeds to help any saxophone player take that next step in their performing career!
