Out of curiosity I rent a tenor to try; I only ever played alto and having a hard time building back my embouchure on alto (not going fast enough) I decided to try tenor which I keep reading has a more relax one.
It appears to be much easier to voice the notes and open up the throat area, compared to my alto, I feel more strongly the note resonate within me. The horn has a strong leak on the D-pad and I can somehow "voice" through it and have it and the lower notes play. I don't recall ever succeeding in doing that on my alto.
Is it due to a better fit between my voice natural register and the tenor? Or simply due to the less tension in my embouchure?
I naturally lack breath support but that resonnance inside the body is ...cool...
So is it just an impression or voicing is indeed easier on tenor?
(Maybe it just means the tenor is for me
)
