Still totally stuck? Here’s the answer

ANSWER

Stubby plays two different types of saxophones – the alto and the tenor.
According to Lisa Clef and Sue, on the Friday morning, Stubby had played both saxophones at the studio.
Stubby then plays Tenor at the park (see Eve’s statement and the social media mentions document).
The next Saxophone use is at the Lemon Leopard club on the Friday Evening where Stubby plays the Tenor (See LSE Reunion article and the statement from Frank Lee, which indicates that Stubby only had one saxophone with him).
Saturday and Sunday, Sue says that the saxophones were left at the house, and Eve also hints that Stubby and Sue were not taking anything with them to the house in Henley (neither of the saxophones).
On the Monday, Lisa and the evidence analysis document both verify that it was the alto sax that killed Stubby. Therefore, the reed was poisoned sometime between the Friday morning and the Monday recording session.
