I play both the clarinet and the sax (alto). I enjoy playing both and are fun to play. If your a beingner i would recommend starting with the clarinet. Although you have to remember alot more different keys, if you start with this you'vealready learnt how to play the saxophone. The reason for this is because with the saxophone it has the same fingering for upper and lower register as the clarinets upper register. Plus they are both reeded instruments so that makes it a bit easier. But either way they are both great instruments to play. Oh and just remebered if you play tenor sax you can play clarinet music and vice versa they are both B flat instruments
Have fun

if you're interstied in playing melody, i'd go with clairenet, it tends to get it more. but tenor has a really cool sound and can play a lot of cool stuff. one of my frineds plays tenor and its pretty cool.

I play both because they are in the same key and the fingering for both is close, except for C, that is different so it is up to you. But, I like to play both because they have neat parts for the clarinet and Tenor in different songs. In addtion, the clarinet is small and lighter because I use to have to bring the tenor back and forth to school and the case was really big and bulky, where I can fit my clarinet case in my school back.
So you make the choice......................

I must say (and I play clarinet now, used to play tenor but i switched to alto) Tenor Sax is your best choice.
Pro's: It is a very versatile instrument, fitting in with all types of band (marching, jazz, pep, symphonic, concert) unlike the clarinet which can't (most generally) be in jazz band. There are also in most cases, an overpopulation of clarinets, thus there is a difficulty obtaining high chair numbers. And it also has an amazing, strong sound, unlike the high and squeeky clarinet (except they can reach lower octaves than sax's can). Plus the octave key actually makes the note go up an octave (unlike stupid clarinets), thus making it easier to learn.
Con's: It generally costs more than a clarinet (that includes the sax itself and reeds), it also doesn't have the melody as often as the clarinet does.
