An elegant tenor saxophone

The MK IV Handmade Tenor Sax makes a convincing case with its balanced intonation in all registers and offers a very good response. Together with the copper body, the metal resonators attached to their leather pads ensure a warm and smooth sound reminiscent of older American saxophones. The body and bocal are made of copper, while the valves and mechanism are made of brass. An elegant, artistic engraving decorates both the body and bocal. The real abalone nacre inlays in the valves are a true eye-catcher. Thanks to its high-quality finish, the MK IV is sure to prove a reliable instrument for beginners and students. The scope of delivery includes a gig bag with a backpack carrying system, a mouthpiece, a strap, and a cleaning cloth.

What does Bb tenor mean?

The Bb tenor saxophone is part of the saxophone family, the other main members of which are the soprano saxophone, the alto saxophone, and the baritone saxophone. The term “tenor” stands for the vocal register. The tenor saxophone is a transposing instrument, which means that a C played on this saxophone corresponds to a Bb on the piano or the guitar. The C played on a tenor saxophone therefore always sounds a major ninth lower, meaning a c1 for the tenor saxophone is noted as a d2. This is why notes for instruments in C tuning are not compatible with tenor saxophones (separate notation is available, however).

A promising start

An appropriate saxophone for beginners and advanced players should be built in such a way that it enables well-intonated and dynamic playing in all registers and, on top of that, it should be durable. The intonation possibilities shouldn’t be too extensive, but they should not be too limited either. The mechanism has to be smooth, and the valves should be easy to operate. The Thomann MK IV fulfils all of these requirements and therefore represents a good starting point. Whether you are a beginner or coming to the Bb tenor sax from another instrument, you will be very well served by the MK IV thanks to its convincing price-performance ratio. Since this saxophone exhibits a wide dynamic sound spectrum and also has a warm sound, it is especially attractive for Jazz saxophonists.
