It's a Saxophone Thing You Wouldn't Understand

2 designs of the same line, so you can pick the artwork rather than settle for the first one you find.

Which one to pick

Hobby designs tend to carry the vocabulary of the craft, which is exactly what makes them land with people inside it and mean nothing to everyone else. Compare the 2 designs on how much jargon each one shows.

If it will be worn while actually doing the saxophone, pick a darker colour — these shirts meet dust, water or dye sooner than most.

Who it is for

For someone whose saxophone takes up real weekends rather than an occasional afternoon. The joke claims membership, so it only reads properly on someone who has earned the claim.

Four instruments, one name

Soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones are different instruments with different roles, and a player usually has a primary.

Reed hunting is the same ordeal as for clarinets, with the same result.

The instrument is younger than most in the orchestra, which is why it sits mainly in jazz and band rather than classical.

Sizing and ordering

  • Unisex tees run true to size — size up one for a relaxed fit.
  • Allow two to three weeks. Each shirt is printed after you order, so production time comes before shipping time.
  • Checkout happens on the print partner's site — Senprints handles printing, payment and delivery.

If it is not quite the right craft

The wording only works when it names the exact craft, so it is worth checking before you buy. Sewing, Trombone and Tuba each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
