The tenor sax is bigger than the also sax, but smaller than the bari sax. It is about 3.5ish feet long 4ish with head joint. Mine weighs about 8 lbs. Width-wise it's bout 2 inches at top, 8 at bell. You typically use a neck strap to play it! hope this helped!
Smaller than an alto. If you hold a Flute to a piccilo the size difference in that is lie the size difference in soprano and alto sax
My tenor sax is around seven to ten pounds (estimate), and it is about two and a third feet tall.
