MiniSax ,that was more than 2. Months ago.we thought we got a stainless steel,when we opened the packet it was just a plastic one. It was from Kaloso site. For 29,97 dollar. We send it back. After a time we saw again a stainless steel,but it was an other site,and we ordered the real stainless.,but this was much expensive.. We ordered it on 23 th of march,and till now we did not received it. Our holidays and his anniversary did pass,he could not play his sax,like Alex showed,and he is very sad. We don’t know if it is from the corona,that we did not get it yet.hope we still get it. But than the sax will be in Indonesie and my host will send it to us in holland. Still hoping,than my husband can play on it,back home in holland. Fingers crossed. Yesterday he went for the third time to the USPS office,no sax at this tracking numer. It is still in Miami,he let us know.

Hi Alex, I just bought and received my mini sax. This will be my first wind instrument. I play piano and guitar so I’m going to give myself sometime to master this instrument. What I like about this, is that you’re not breaking the bank with investing in a sax, and then finding out, that it’s not your type of instrument. Alex I wanted to ask, the mouth piece, is that the one that came with the mini sax or is it a different mouth piece from another sax?

Hi Alex. Not many tutorials out there, but I found lots of tutorials for the Xaphoon. Could you confirm the distribution of holes is the same between your instrument and that one? I find yours' sound cleaner, probably because it is metallic. If they are physically the same, I am inclined to buy yours, but if learning is different, then I need to find tutorials for yours.

Just seeing this... you can find our fingering guide which is different (easier than xaphoon) on minisax.com/details page, at the bottom. Download the quick start pdf which has it on the last page.

I have been thinking about buying a mini sax in your web but my problem is I do not read music and I do not have a Windows computer either (to use the T3 app to learn music with it) but a Mac computer. So I am kind of stuck not knowing too well what to do. I would like to learn an progress with the instrument but I do not find any way to learn scores for minisax where fingering and explanations are included, at least for the very beginning playing the instrument. Any idea from you or whoever who know where to find or buy scores with fingering and explanations for chords included (for instance for 7th chords used many times in jazz music)?. Once again congratulations for your videos!! Kind regards

MrFriscos, you can take a look at our fingering chart. Here is the link to it: www.minisax.com/s/quick-start.pdf It is on the second-last page. It will show you which holes to keep closed/open in order to achieve certain tones. If you have music in tabbed format vs. scores that tells you which tone is which note, you can easily use our fingering chart in order to get going. We also have a tune bundle in our store which has a pdf sheet for each song. These songs have specifically been edited in order to make them easily playable on our mini sax. Please let me know if this makes sense to you. Thanks!
