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:	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

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 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:	I am searching for a mouthpiece that has great control over lows and highs and has a more centered focused sound. Any help
Answer:	the Vandorin Optimum mouthpiece can give you this kind of versatility using the Vandorin Optimum ligature but you might consider a Rovner Versa ligature for the greatest flexibility for a modern sound. The Sigurd Rascher mouthpiece has a larger chamber and produces super highs and lows using the Rovner Versa ligature while producing a more traditional sound. Hope this helps. Rich
Question:	This is my first time purchasing these items. it is a christmas present for my son. if i purchase the wrong item, will i be able to exchange them
Answer:	Amazon is very good about exchanges, but being a mouthpiece, it may depend on who the actual vendor is. Look for "ships and sold by Amazon" under the price. Those are returnable. If it's sold by a 3rd party, but shipped from Amazon, it may not be. And if only trying out a mouthpiece, ALWAYS us one of those rubber mouthpiece patches, so you don't leave any bite marks.
Question:	This may be a dumb question, but how does the sound compare to the al4 and al
Answer:	It's not a dumb question at all. The model numbers AL3, AL4, AL5 refer mostly to tip opening with AL3 having the smallest tip opening. The AL3 with a soft reed such as 1-1/2 or 2 will blow with the least back pressure while the AL4 will have a greater back pressure and the AL5 the greatest back pressure. Long story short here is if you don't mind blowing 'till you face turns red go for the wider tips but use a narrow tip (AL3) to enjoy playing your sax without exerting exceptional effort. You can still play an AL3 loud with a soft reed - today's reeds are amazing, try a few different kinds until you find one or two that work for you. Hope this helps.
Question:	For alto saxophone, what Vandoren Optimum mouthpiece would have a closer chamber size to a Yamaha 4C? An AL3 or AL4 mouthpiece
Answer:	AL4 (1.63mm tip opening) is closest to 4C (1.6mm). AL3 is less, 1.52mm
