It's time to write new history. We need a modern tenor in C.

Thank you very much for this very informative video. I always wonder why the C-Melody saxophone was abandoned by all saxophone makers?

The story goes that a C-melody was easier to play with the family around a piano on Sunday because no transposition. After the 1929 crash that market dried out and then everyone got a radio or a record player. I have a 1925 Martin that is a blast to play. Check Frankie Trumbauer on youtube!

I’d like to try one out of curiosity, but I like the Bb’s 🙂

Is the "all-toe" pronunciation a Canadian thing?
