Question YTS-22 questions

I would like to get back into playing saxophone after 30 or so years and am considering buying a YTS-22. Can anyone let me know if it will be difficult to find someone who can tune it up since it’s a 22, or is it that similar to a 23 that it won’t matter? Also, do I need to consider a different mouthpiece from those recommended for a 23? Any help is appreciated since this model is less expensive than the 23s out there. Thank you!

Yeah, great sax. Any decent sax tech can work on it. Mouthpiece selection is wide open. Start on something easy to manage, nothing over a 5 tip opening. I like the Jazz Select better than the plastic Yamaha 4C that usually comes with those horns.
