Possibly Alto.

[HowardKennitby]

tenor and alto are most common with the soprano used some also. If you listen to anything by Paul Taylor you will hear mostly tenor and alto.

According to here...

it was originally a tenor for Smooth operator, but it can also be keyed on an alto.

Or even a saxophone.

How about My Favorite Things by John Coltrane, soprano I think
