It's a woodwind instrument made out of brass. It curves downward from the mouthpiece and then curves back up at the end. Best description I can do, but not good at all.

Tenor sax looks just like a regular sax (alto sax) only is somewhat larger. Hangs down around your hip. Go, tenors!!! Go, flutes!!! Go, piccolos!!!

Bigger than the alto sax (the one you usually think of), and bigger yet than the Kenny G sax (soprano)

Blah, I meant the bottom of the curve toward the bell of the tenor sax is located somewhere around the hip/upper thigh rather than the shorter better known alto sax which comes down to just below the player's waist. Not to be confused with the very large baritone sax which ends further down the leg and, of course, plays in the bass clef rather than the treble clef as altos and tenors do. The tenor has the more pleasant tone of all the saxes.
