Subj: [kl] Reed question

A non-musical friend is loaning me her son's sax...she's not sure if
it's a tenor or alto! My question is: what would be the best reed
strength to use as a beginning sax player? I use a 3.5 Mitchell Lurie on
my clarinet...but have no idea what strength to try out on the sax.
Could someone please give me a clue...for either tenor or alto sax? I
appreciate any and all responses. TIA
