I like cannonball cause my tenor sax is a Cannonball but I play a Selmer Paris Series II Bari Sax in Concert band and I absolutely love it.

I'm assuming that nobody's ever heard of a Taishan Saxophone? I have one.

I don't know a whole lot of brands. My main brand is Yamaha. Both of my brother's instruments are Yamaha and my Clarinet is Yamaha. Is Taishan a good brand?

I have no idea. My previous Tenor Sax was a Yamaha, but that was in middle school. The one I have now, for high school, is the Taishan I mentioned.
Interesting thing about Taishan. It's not actually an instrument making company, it's actually a merchant shipping company who sells off the instruments in their name.
Anyways, the one I have is a pretty good one. It's taken a beating on the marching field one too many times, unfortunately, but it still plays like a charm. Hence the reason why I named it Bourne, after Jason Bourne from the Bourne series. It takes a beating, but it still operates perfectly.

Hey I have a Saxophone that not sure what it is but it's a silver saxophone not sure on the brand at the moment but its bigger than an alto yet smaller than the tenor with a curved neck. it plays with an alto mouthpiece not sure what to make of it thinking it could possibly be a C Melody.

Yo I'm not sure if anyone gets on here anymore, but I'm a rookie marching a tenor sax, and I'm incredibly short. i.e. my left arm can just barely extend enough to hold the sax perpendicular to the ground.
Any tips or tricks with marching a tenor? I would switch to alto for comfort, but there are only 3 tenors including me, and I honestly prefer tenor. I just bought a nice padded neck strap and a thumb rest cushion.
