Product description

From celebrated director Rob Reiner (When Harry Met Sally) and Oscar-winning* screenwriter William Goldman (Chaplin) comes "an enchanting fantasy" (Time) filled with adventure, romance and plenty of "good-hearted fun" (Roger Ebert)! Featuring a spectacular cast that includes Robin Wright (Forrest Gump), Cary Elwes (Liar, Liar), Mandy Patinkin (Dick Tracy) and Billy Crystal (City Slickers), this wonderful fairy tale about a Princess named Buttercup and her beloved is "a real dream of a movie" (People)!

*1969: Original Screenplay, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

1976: Adapted Screenplay, All the President's Men

Screenwriter William Goldman's novel The Princess Bride earned its own loyal audience on the strength of its narrative voice and its gently satirical, hyperbolic spin on swashbuckled adventure that seemed almost purely literary. For all its derring-do and vivid over-the-top characters, the book's joy was dictated as much by the deadpan tone of its narrator and a winking acknowledgement of the cliches being sent up. Miraculously, director Rob Reiner and Goldman himself managed to visualize this romantic fable while keeping that external voice largely intact: using a storytelling framework, avuncular Grandpa (Peter Falk) gradually seduces his skeptical grandson (Fred Savage) into the absurd, irresistible melodrama of the title story. And what a story: a lowly stable boy, Westley (Cary Elwes), pledges his love to the beautiful Buttercup (Robin Wright), only to be abducted and reportedly killed by pirates while Buttercup is betrothed to the evil Prince Humperdinck. Even as Buttercup herself is kidnapped by a giant, a scheming criminal mastermind, and a master Spanish swordsman, a mysterious masked pirate (could it be Westley?) follows in pursuit. As they sail toward the Cliffs of Insanity... The wild and woolly arcs of the story, the sudden twists of fate, and, above all, the cartoon-scaled characters all work because of Goldman's very funny script, Reiner's confident direction, and a terrific cast. Elwes and Wright, both sporting their best English accents, juggle romantic fervor and physical slapstick effortlessly, while supporting roles boast Mandy Patinkin (the swordsman Inigo Montoya), Wallace Shawn (the incredulous schemer Vizzini), and Christopher Guest (evil Count Rugen) with brief but funny cameos from Billy Crystal, Carol Kane, and Peter Cook. --Sam Sutherland

From the Introduction

Even Microsoft admits it now: Windows 8 was a huge mistake. It was, in essence, two radically different operating systems, superimposed: the traditional Windows desktop, overlaid by a new, colorful world of tiles that was designed for the universe of touchscreen tablets and laptops. The result was two web browsers, two Control Panels, two email programs, two ways of doing everything. And, in general, people couldn’t stand it.

In hopes of getting as far from Windows 8 as possible, Microsoft skipped Windows 9 entirely; there never was a Windows 9.

But in Windows 10, Microsoft achieved something brilliant: It eliminated the split personality of Windows 8 while managing to retain the touch-friendly features. (Just in case, you know, the world moves to touchscreen computers after all.)

If you’re a PC veteran, you’ll recognize Windows 10: It’s pretty much Windows 7 with a few new features and nicer typography.

And if you’re new to all this, get down on your knees beside your bed tonight and thank whatever you believe in that you missed Windows 8 entirely. You were spared the emotional and mental whiplash of Microsoft’s changing its mind.

About This Book

Despite the many improvements in Windows over the years, one feature hasn’t improved a bit: Microsoft’s documentation. Windows 10 comes with no printed guide at all.

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

User questions & answers

Question:	is this sax for everyone including adults
Answer:	Yes this standard size saxophone and good for adults and kids.
Question:	Where is made in, what country
Answer:	Russia
Question:	is it good for intermediate /pro
Answer:	If I am an intermediate/pro, I wouldn't buy this one. But it sounds pretty decent.
Question:	Is the item durable
Answer:	For what it's worth, we had a baritone (euphonium) from this company that served us well for two years. However, the alto sax in question did not work well for us (trouble with the octave key) and we therefore had to return it. Since we had the alto sax for less than three weeks, I can't tell you about the long-term durability but it did seem pretty sturdy over the period that we did have it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this one for sale version one or version two
Answer:	If the jSax product number starts with N520 it is a version two, or jSax 2.0. Products starting with N510 are the previous model of jSax.
Question:	does it have the same number of buttons or keys a real saxophone has
Answer:	No. It has no trill keys. It uses a variation on recorder fingering, so Key of C notes are the same as on a regular sax, but some different fingerings are needed for some of the sharps and flats. Maybe about 85%-90% the same as a regular sax.
Question:	How often does the reed have to be replaced
Answer:	I play soprano sax. It depends on how often you play. The mouth piece and read should be cleaned after each playing session. When you’re notes are not coming out as clear, that would be a good time to replace your read. Make sure you moisten tour read. The appears to be plastic, so it may not get as dry as a wooden read
Question:	Does it come with a music chart or a how to pamphlet to get you started
Answer:	It comes with a fingering chart.
