Re: What Kind of Tenor Sax should I buy if i want a really big sound??
I've played a number of the Conn 10M horns, big sound but I don't like the key layout or the intonation very much.
I've played an old King Alto I really liked (early 40's?) but never tried a tenor.
I currently play a Selmer Reference 36, which I thought has a bigger sound than the Conns or a couple of other vintage horns that have a big sound- plus are in tune and play really well.
Of course, the price is way out of what you are looking for...
In reality, if you have a big sound, you can sound big on most horns with the right MP/Reed combo for how you play.
Open your throat, loosen your jaw a bit, soak the reeds in water well and listen to a bunch of Yusef Lateef and Dexter Gordon.
