Hi Guys
Just a couple of question that are really basic, but while I'm eagerly waiting for my sax to arrive I've been doing some research but cant seem to find the answers.
I have order a replacement mouth piece (Yamaha 4c) which seems to be the norm and the recommended thing to do for student saxes (Its a Bauhaus - Walstien alto Sax (bronze). My question is does the Yamaha 4c come with a ligature or not?
If not will the BW supplied ligature fit the 4c and be ok?
And perhaps this is really really obvious, but, which way up should the ligature be "screws up" or "screws down"? I've seen photos, I think in both directions and some only show with the mouthpiece cap in place, others pictures show no mouth piece fitted. So how do you know?
Regards
Bill
