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:	Where does the sax neck and mouthpiece go
Answer:	If you aren't using a tea bag, I would imagine that the amount of loose tea would depend on how strong you like your tea. These are good sized mugs, so keep in mind that amount of water that they hold. These are awesome mugs!
Question:	I have a Cannonball tipped (30-45 degrees) soprano. Does this case have the adjustibility to safely transport this type of soprano
Answer:	FDA aporoved. Instead of concerning the lead from the mug born in China, it is better to your health that concerning the lead from the water in the US. Ask the government to change the lead pipes, pls. Even the filter can remove 99% of the lead, it may still much more than that the mug could release.
Question:	For the tri pac case, is the front pocket big enough to hold a Hercules alto stand
Answer:	It's a mug not a teapot. It will pour as well as any mug.
Question:	I'm confused. if i order this case, what product will i receive? will it be the alto/soprano duo or the alto/clarinet/flute tri-case? wheels or not
Answer:	Yes, the strainer is removable and the lid is a nice saucer for our tea bag. I use both tea bags and loses tea intermittently. I love this tea cup. The porcelain is really high quality and very smooth. I use black tea which has a tendency to stain, but the inner surface of this cup is so smooth , the tea stains wash right off. I also like that it is white inside because I can tell how string the tae is depending on how dark the color is against the white. If the cup was the same color inside and out, then it would be harder to gauge this.
