I like to stay mostly on alto. But when i double on tenor some people have the nerve to tell me "you know you sound better on tenor" "you should play tenor."
I get complimented on alto when i just play alto. But some people feel compelled to tell me those comments above when they hear me on tenor.
I dont like it because I think it has little to do with my skills or comparative sound on alto or tenor, and more to do with the fact that they LIKE tenor sax sound better. ALso i consider alto more of "my voice" and devote a lot more attention to alto playing.
Anyone else deal with these sorts of comments too? I know some alto players who REFUSE to play tenor although if they did they would sound good and get compliments.
