I am not a seller, but when I bought the saxophone, reeds were not included (in fact, I have never seen reeds included in the sale of an instrument.

I would try this ligature before buying a new mouthpiece. To start with it will be so much cheaper as a good mouthpiece is quite expensive. I found that this ligature allowed the reed to vibrate better and it is much easier to change reeds.

Usually you do, but it sort of depends how you use them. If they are really tight you'll want to remove them.

I would not take the back, as that can make it weak, however, what I would do is open holes to put the chords through. Just an idea.

My daughter played a bluegrass solo during her school concert and thought it was fine. She normally doesn't play that style music so she might not be the best one to answer that question.

If you choose to tune it yourself, it helps to have a fine grinder on a dremmel type tool. Also, you have to find a way to get the reed to vibrate while the instrument is disassembled. Just requires a little cleverness. I also bought a "higher end" melodica, but it needed MORE work than the Yamaha did.

All new clarinets only come with 1 reed. Usually a 2.5. As for the swab and grease... that is also correct. Both are cheap when you buy a kit.

I would have to ask my son. He is away this weekend, but I can ask him tomorrow night when he gets home. I know that he has used them for years! He plays in a band locally and is actually playing at a festival this weekend.

I am not a clarinet expert. However, this clarinet plays nicely. I think it also depends on the strength of the reed you are using (they are numbered as to thickness) as well as the placement of the reed on the mouthpiece. I am not familiar with the Mendini clarinet.

Dear Kathryn: I have returned the stand to Amazon. If memory serves, my stand had 3 holes with the same size threads in all of them, but since I cannot be sure I do not want to mislead you. My stand had two flute pegs, which would serve for two clarinets, and then presumably you could bring your other clarinet peg, and put it in the piccolo spot. A clarinet player friend of my tried the stand and liked it. I would say the larger pegs are more compatible with the clarinet than with the flute, which as you can see, i highly recommend against using with the flute.

No it doesn't.But it does come with a mouthpiece cover and ligature.Usually every reed comes in its own plastic guard, although these are not airtight.I haven't had any issues with the reeds for not having a dedicated reed guard/holder.Hope this answer helps

You may make your music in there with the instruments if that was your question.The sounds too are good!

Technically, you can but most people use their fingers or felt picks for a uke. You can scratch your uke with these if it doesn't have a pick guard.

It was broken up into sections about 12 or 14 feet long. I just hung them over a door while I was using one and soaking a second reed.

I have not picked up acorns, however, I have some hard pods from a sweet glum tree that really makes a bad sound if I get into any. I have since stopped using the vac on them and I rake them into a pile and pick them up by hand. Not to bad, better than damaging the vac.

I haven't heard of anyone that has, but I don't see a reason why not. You should check with others that play electric cello and see what they recommend.
