Question:	Is this brand made in China
Answer:	These saxophones are made in China, yes. I believe they are set up and tuned in Florida, USA.
Question:	How Heavy Is This
Answer:	I haven’t put the case with sax aboard on a scale but I find it is rather heavy. My case has wheels on it and it hasa telescoping handle like a suitcase. My problem is getting a replacement silver neck for the one that is badly corroded and pitted.
Question:	Does this come witb a 4 year warranty
Answer:	The video included with the listing states that it comes with a one year warranty for parts and labor.
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.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why are the bottom three keys not covered with pearl key covers

Answer:	The sax looks great. The finish looks good. Black and brass.
Question:	How mong is warranty time
Answer:	You can select a warranty right before you purchase it. I believe mine is 2 years.
Question:	Does the saxophone match the images provided in this listing? For example, does the inside of the bell have a brass finish like the pictures
Answer:	Yes, exactly like the photos, "gold" bell and all. The mouthpiece cap doesn't do it justice, though; just a black plastic cheapo.

Yamaha standard series 4C mouthpiece for alto sax.

• Yamaha's official original-equipment 4C alto sax mouthpiece, identical to what's included with new Yamaha standard, intermediate and professional series alto saxophones.
• The 4C size was designed by Yamaha so that even a beginner can make a terrific sound.
• Made from safe and durable phenol resin plastic.
• State of the art manufacturing produces an extremely high quality and consistent mouthpiece
• Fits any brand of standard alto saxophone.

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.

Product description

The new M|O ligature combines the lightweight construction of the legendary Masters ligature with the highly efficient tightening of the OPTIMUM ligature and allows an optimum vibration of the reed and a crisp articulation.

• Lightweight
• Easy to set up
• Quick and symmetrical tightening with a unique double-track screw mechanism

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this really work
Answer:	Yes it is.my son sounds really good and he is beginner.
Question:	Does it come fit with vandoren sm711 al3 optimum series alto saxophone mouthpiece please
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:	Does this really work
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 come fit with vandoren sm711 al3 optimum series alto saxophone mouthpiece please
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 the sound quality good
Answer:	The plug was 110V 60Hz AC and there was not an adapter or converter to 220V 50Hz. Given it works on resistance, my guess is that it might be a little rough on your transformers or voltage converters, much like trying to use a 110V hair dryer.
Question:	what is the weight of the saxophone with the bag
Answer:	This has a 2 point plug. Thanks
Question:	i am an adult looking to purchase this saxophone. does any adults have experience playing and living this instrument
Answer:	Probably not. I only had 5 to begin with, and they are all in carts right now. Keep checking back if you like, but I'm a pretty small seller.
Question:	Does it sound the same as a Yamaha saxophone or worst
Answer:	Lol good question!

YAS-62III Professional Alto Saxophone Silver Plated. A favorite among band directors for decades, the 62 model saxophones (and their predecessor, the 61) have redefined the market by offering superior quality and durability at an affordable price. Introduced in 1979, the YAS-62 and YTS-62 saxophones withstand the tests of time and competition and have been in a continual state of improvement since the launch of the YAS-61 in 1969. The new YAS-62III carries the tradition of excellence forward while introducing firther refinements to the already sound design of the 62. The new 62 neck's slightly narrower bore provides a faster response and greater control relative to its predecessor. The 62 style neck allows a comfortable flow of air so that every player can attain a solid tonal core. The engraving is now more elaborate with finer detail, an improved mechanism from low B to C# ensures a proper seal for these notes which promotes a clear response throughout the low range of the instrument, and the instrument now comes with a semi-hard case that offers a contemporary look and greater ease of transport.

• Free blowing
• Redesigned for fast response
• Beautiful tone
• Nice case included
• The new 62 neck's slightly narrower bore provides a faster response and greater control relative to its predecessor

User questions & answers

Question:	Hi is this a real deal? A yas62ii on that price is something wrong with it
Answer:	Good day, Nothing wrong. Box still factory sealed. Actually, it is a series 04. Latest version. All professional models from Yamaha as these are made in Japan. Thx,
Question:	Is this a real Yamaha saxophone
Answer:	I guess it depends on the seller, the one we got was brand new and real. It came from GJG audio from Japan.
Question:	El precio incluye iva y gastos de envio, cuañ seria el precio final
Answer:	Not right now but in the future.
Question:	I live on an island close to the sea and we get 'salt air'. Would the finish on the sax hold up? I have another brand for my son and it tarnished
Answer:	The greatest assault on your shinny new and brilliantly platted sax is the acidity of your sweaty hands/fingers, plus the saliva that dumps out of your horn after playing hard for a few hours. Played in bands of all types for many years and I remember gigging with my beloved Mark VI Selmer and 70% of the platting was gone in about a year. So - wipe it down thoroughly before you put it back in its case (each time you play it. Also swab out the inside with your rag-on-a-string at the same time. Remember it's not how it looks, it's how it plays and sounds. Have fun! - Jerry
