19 tenors comparison sound samples

This is not a written review, but a sound comparison. Here are 19 tenors all recorded with a Blue Snowflake in mono with no enhancements. Some are low G, some are high G. Some are in B tuning, some in C tuning. It is what it is. Thought folks might like to hear a comparison of some of these tenors. Recording and comparing helps me decide what I like best.

All 19 tenors are on one file: https://soundcloud.com/doc-hj/19-tenors

Yes........The important question is how many has he gone through since then. I love that he loves to buy, try and experiment. It adds greatly to our collective knowledge base.
