Does it sound the same as a Yamaha saxophone or worst?

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

I don't know. I bought it for my granddaughter for band. She loves it and her director seemed to be pleased.

It has multiple instrument settings. They are different from each other, but don't expect it to sound like anything other than a digital instrument

I concur with exactly what jb said... I plugged it into an older Dennon recevier phono jacks and it sounded awful, as soon as plugged in to a aux input, sounded like it should. The only thing I don't like about it is that there is not a little needle lift/drop thingy :) I think the model that replaced the one I bought does have it.

Yes, the sound is similar to a Fender Stratocaster. For the price, it is a great guitar.

HelloSorry late response, it won't give the same sound. It's a real nice drum. Hope it helps

I have not tried the Yamaha. My kids are avid musicians and they prefer the Ovation line for their sound quality, action and electronics.

They sound like a buick to me. Here's what they sound like on my motorcycle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEmCgvGsneU

No (doesn't produce good quality), not at all it just sound like the speaker is old or scratchy. Yes, i change the equalizer on my phone and its still the same. I only used it 3 times and i compared it with my other speaker similar to this one. It sounded like crap. I don't mind just getting another super bass speaker.

The sound is decent. But like anything else, if you spend more you get more. I have a Yamaha 350 watt power amp. I am going to up grade back to Yamaha, Carver, Kenwood.. The pyramid is just a get me buy until you get your money up. I hope this helps.

Nope, its strengths are on synth sounds and vocoder. The "piano" or "keyboard" sounds are passable.

I wish I did know - I did some digging and couldn't find anything. I just ordered one (SAX). I'll post if I ever figure it out.

No It doesn't. Actually I was going to buy a Casio on the internet. And I was looking through reviews and changed my mind because one of them complained of that noise and suggested that the Yamaha was better. So I went to Yamaha that was going cost only 500$ I can't remember which and it had some sort of problem maybe the same as this one. But the reviewer who claimed to be a professional player suggested that it would have been much better to pay a couple of more hundred dollars and get the Yamaha 640 which is the best in the price range and closest feel to the real thing. And after having it for two months now, I agree. My family absolutely love it. We are very happy with our choice. and no ticking sound at all.

it will sound good. louder than one might think. i love the little guy. i've had amps for way more $ and be equal or less than good. the el84 plus the 12x7 yadda yadda is the same as a Vox. A class too. sounds like a beatles amp, but raunchier. problems... the cheap ass plugs electric hook up thingsy is eggshellish. cut corners somehow i guess. if you can afford the speaker cab, i'd go for it. the speaker is voiced for the amp and breaks up when driven at the right time. lovely.

It sound just like a normal Spanish guitar,probably not quite as loud but enough to gig with. The sound is bright like a flamenco guitar. The shallow body does not reduce the sound that much.

Same here , I listen to smooth jazz alot. The sound quality is better for HK when compared to a YAMAHA. I own both HK 3490 and a RS700 stereo receiver from yamaha. I got both of them for a good price. But I upgraded to EMOTIVA amp now, which is so much better than these two. HK 3490 is a warm sounding amp. It depends on your liking. Both are good amps.
