Thomann KEP-314 L Kids Tenor Horn

Spoiled for choice: Those who want to start playing the horn at a young age will quickly realize that tenor horns are - depending on the manufacturer - more compact and easier to handle than baritones.

But the different bore is more germane here than just the handling characteristics. The tenor horn's narrower bore means that embouchure is easier with this instrument. Overall, the tenor horn is often the instrument of choice for beginners, who can later change to the baritone, or simply play both.
