Clearly by looking at pictures you can tell that Lisa plays a Baritone Saxophone, not the tenor. Also, it can be heard to be a baritone sax during almost all the opening scenes of her playing as she exists the band hall.
The Bari Sax is the only sax to have the signature "loop" at the top of the neck, just like the one Lisa plays, where the saxophone goes up above the top key, curves back down, and then curves back up again before straightening out before the mouth piece. (The Bass Sax also has a "loop" at the top of the neck but it is obviously not a bass sax). The tenor sax just has a slight "wave" to the neck.
A tenor has the mouthpiece almost in line with the top of the body of the sax. Lisa's has the mouthpiece much further down from the top of the body of the sax. Google some pictures people.
According to Matt Groening "...she doesn't always play a baritone sax because the animators don't know what it looks like, so it changes shape and color from show to show."
"Lisa plays the baritone saxophone, and some episodes use that as a plot device. According to Matt Groening, the baritone saxophone was chosen because he found the thought of an eight-year-old girl playing it amusing."

I've never watched the Simpsons so my score of 2 is more than I expected. When I saw the last question I thought I had another one with Atom Ant from the Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel show. He always said, "Up and at 'em, Atom Ant!" The radioactive guy seems to have stolen the line from the Hanna-Barbera character.
the opposite of "D'oh!" should also accept a variation of "mmmmm"
