determining what type sax it is

[derek smith]

How do you know what model you are looking at? For example how do you tell a tenor from a alto?

Hi Derek, it's very easy to tell them apart;
the alto is smaller with a sloped, shorter neck. The tenor is larger and the neck has a curve in it.
Here is a pic of the sax family:
