Answer:	Please contact the seller for expedite shipping options.
Question:	How the case look like

Question:	Is there a neck strap with it

User questions & answers

Question:	is the sound quality good
Answer:	Yes it is.my son sounds really good and he is beginner.
Question:	what is the weight of the saxophone with the bag
Answer:	sorry it took me long to answer it is about 10 to 15 pounds, its really light. I used to ride my bike, run, walk for 30 minutes to my practice sections and it wasn't heavy. Now the regular saxophone strap is for masochist, so just buy a neotech strap.
Question:	i am an adult looking to purchase this saxophone. does any adults have experience playing and living this instrument
Answer:	I recently bought this saxophone I'm 41 years old and a professional musician While there are better saxophones our there (including with a 10x price tag!) this saxophone is an excellent investment. The saxophone is a little full-bodies for me but aside from that it's wonderful. The only problem I have with this saxophone is the right hand palm keys are a little too far back for me. I have to completely readjust my hand every time I need to use tge palm keys to do a flutter or trill. Another problem is the left hand palm keys are quite sharp and dig into my hand at times when I use them. A word about the tone...it's very dark and full-bodied which for me is a problem as I prefer my alto to sing with fire and brilliance by the bucket load! I switch between an ARB metal 6 and a Vandoren Jumbo Java A45. While the time I get is nice I still don't get the bright tone or edginess that I get on my 1940s Evette Schaeffer. It's a wonderful saxophone for the money and should last for years to carry anyone well into their professional career (if that's what you're after).
Question:	Does it sound the same as a Yamaha saxophone or worst
Answer:	The Yamaha YAS 61 was supposed to be Yamaha`s first professional model saxophone. In my opinion the Yamaha YAS 61 sounds brighter and louder, but that`s with the Bamber jazz mouthpiece. That will make a difference. The Mendini was not far behind the Yamaha YAS 61 in sound though. I give the Yamaha YAS 61 a grade A for sound quality, and the Mendini Alto Saxophone a grade B to B+ for sound quality. Switching to a jazz mouthpiece on the Mendini does make it sound brighter. I like Lavoz reeds too. I have not found the most ideal mouthpiece just yet for the Mendini Sax. I haven`t had it long enough to know. Bamber mouthpieces are not for sale anymore, that is I can`t find them on the internet. Metalite M 5 is inexpensive on amazon.com and will make the Mendini Alto Saxophone louder. It will be short shank so will fit on the cork further out than the mouthpiece that comes with the saxophone. E. Rousseau JDX 6 is another jazz mouthpiece for a little more money. Right now I have been practicing with the mouthpiece that came with the Mendini saxophone with a Lavoz reed. Maybe a homemade metal piece inserted in the mouthpiece will make this mouthpiece play brighter. I think it has a fairly good tone quality with the Mendini mouthpiece. The Mendini alto saxophone has it`s own signature sound as other saxophones have as well. The Mendini alto saxophone is a little quieter and slightly less bright than the Yamaha, and not necessarily worse. Some saxophonist don`t always want that bright of a sound. I do though. Hope that answers your question ? If you want to ask more questions please send another request. I`ll try to help

Product description

This reed is designed to produce a quality of extremely pure sound due to a very thin reed tip (the area of Reed with maximum vibration), being balanced by a solid vertebral column (more cane in the area which climbs gradually to the heel). These reeds are recognizable by a straight line to delineate the limit of the area of bark. The favorite reed of classic saxophonists worldwide since marcel Mule, it has always been (and is still) used with equal success by many players.

• Traditional reeds are known for their excellent response in all registers, allowing a pianissimo attack in even highest notes.
• Extremely flexible, allowing the legato or staccato execution of large intervals while maintaining a richness of tone that gives body and clarity to the sound, which is a hallmark of Vandoren reeds.
• Traditional reeds are available for all clarinets and saxophones in various strengths.
• Every reed sealed in 'Flow Pack' to ensure freshness.

User questions & answers

Question:	hello please if I order two or three boxes must I pay the 2.99 ship for each one or only one time? thank you and happy new year
Answer:	Hi There,If you order all the boxes at once, on one order, you would only have to pay shipping one time, for one order.Happy New Year's,TomThe Music Store
Question:	what size should I buy?? any advice im 18, for band
Answer:	Ask your Band Teacher. They usually want every alto sax player using the same mouthpiece and same reed brand and strength . That being said, the 2.5 is an excellent reed. I played on a 2.0 strength for 1st year.
Question:	For an adult beginner, which strength is better or should be used for alto sax
Answer:	Good question! For an adult beginner, I would recommend a Vandoren 2 or 2.5. Even for an adult jaw, a Vandoren strength 3 is probably a bit too stiff.
Question:	Are the reeds stiff? I've heard they are but these were Vandoren from about 10-15 years ago
Answer:	Any new reed is going to be stiff as is expected. The reeds do "loosen" as they are used to some extent. I recommend them to intermediate players. For a beginner then the strength should probably be a 2. Both strengths work well and help deliver a quality tone.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it for beginners
Answer:	With a new mouthpiece and a good reed, it actually sounds very good, and can be used on stage.Out of all the saxes I've purchased, this one equals the sound quality of a Taiwanese sax! (level up from standard Chinese saxes), and can sound better than saxes two or three times it's price.I think it's for intermediates, studio and live; or a nice sax for pro's who need a backup sax, or one that's cheap, or great for looks.Doesn't sound like a $2k sax, but I'd say it does come close to a $800-1200 sax.Reason this is cheap, is because there are no replacement parts, and no one really can fix these in case there are missing pieces.
Question:	Is this the same sax they use in school band? my daughter is joining and i'd like to know so i don't have to pay the schools high costs
Answer:	Talk to the band director. Usually they can help you find a good sax that you can afford.
Question:	Will I need a new mouthpiece, reeds, and neck strap because most of the reviews say they are bad
Answer:	No. The one that comes with it, is okay for rehearsals and practice.You will want a new mouthpiece if you want it to sound louder and nicer, and a new neoprene neck strap for comfort.I use a Legere reed, which sounds really nice, and a $30 chinese metal mouthpiece. I'm really happy with the sound and the ease of playing.The provided mouthpiece is a little quiet for band play. You can use the strap for longer periods of time, if you have a cushioning between your neck and the strap (like a little towel, or high collar on your shirt)
Question:	Can anyone post this sax on youtube so we can hear sound quality before i buy it
Answer:	What did you think of sound quality? I’m looking for a saxophone for my husband who hasn’t played since middle school. Don’t want to spend too much in case he doesn’t really get into it.

• Made from safe and durable phenol resin plastic.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the difference between a 5c & 4c Yamaha mouthpiece
Answer:	The inside bore on the 5C is larger than the 4C. The 4C is an ideal mouthpiece for a beginner player while you develope your embouchure. The 5C is typically ideal for an intermediate and advanced player.
Question:	Does this come with a reed
Answer:	No it does not come with a reed, ligature, or a cap. It is just the mouthpiece and the box. A good tip for the future would also be that if you get a free reed with something it likely isn't going to be very good, unless it is name band.
Question:	Comes with ligature
Answer:	It does not come with a ligature. I don't recommend ordering Yamaha's ligature for this, especially online.
Question:	Will this fit on a Glory alto sax
Answer:	I do not own a Glory alto but I do own (or have owned) a total of four alto Saxophones. The necks are standard fit. That being said, the mouthpiece fits over a piece of cork. The thickness of the cork can be different from neck to neck and the cork will wear over time. It is easily replaceable and inexpensive to have a professional do. If it does not fit right out of the box, but it should, it is an easy and cheap fix. To extend the life of the cork, be sure to use cork grease regularly.

Question:	May I ask - whether there are insttruments with white key buttons? I ask because as I see on photo - it looks like more cream pearl buttons
Answer:	Hard to answer this question, I think what you see is what they have. I preferred the pearl buttons I think it looks a little classier with them then just white.
