It came with the standard Yamaha plastic 4c mouthpiece.

Thanks again to all for the warm welcome!

I now have my baby!
In the end I paid a bit more for a Yamaha YTS280. Tried the Trevor James (Beautiful Sound!) and two Bauhaus’s. The Yam sounded as good as the TJ but the action seemed that little more positive, which i thought might be better for a beginner like me.
Had a couple of lessons from my Son-in-Laws band mate so he could see first hand what i’m doing right and wrong! Along with this site and loads of practice i’m thoroughly enjoying it and am looking forward to making progress.

Regards to all,

Tim.

hi Kneedown
im guessing your a biker ?
well i got a sax about a week ago so im as new to this as a new person could be new
hope you get the sax your after soon mate and good luck

Yep, you rumbled me! Rode a Ducati 750 for a few years before rupturing a spinal disc playing rugby. Couldn’t get on with the riding position after that so traded it in for a ZZR1200, which Mrs Kneedown loved as she could go more than 50 miles on the back without getting sore!
Currently without a bike though after selling the ZZR to pay for the Caribbean Cruise i promised her for her 50th Birthday. Looking at Moto Guzzi’s for the next one though.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome!
