Reviews around sax (4.42 of 5)

  • Son thought he broke his sax when he installed first 2.5 because he was not used to them and could not get any sound out

Reviews around product (4.26 of 5)

  • The neck strap broke as well so even though it looks like a great product it is not good.
  • All of what I asked for and more, thank you for a timely and quality product
  • If they send a replacement and it works well, this is a good product!
  • I would recommend this product for beginners, but keep in mind the accessories are not very good.
  • I wonder if people who don't recommend this product are music teachers that will not get their cut because we are purchasing products like this and not through a school

Reviews around price (4.16 of 5)

  • But, the price is cheap, so obviously, you get what you pay for.
  • for a Mendini brand, price of it is not cheap, however, issues about the quality of sound it produce are affected by the following factors
  • I really recommend getting this Saxophone for a cheap price.
  • But me personally, I thinks it 's a great instrument' great price for a beginner!!
  • Love the entire package, very good price for a beginning saxophonist.

Reviews around case (3.83 of 5)

  • I know I'll have to get use to blowing it because I've been blowing a MARTIN LOW C for 32 years.
  • I love the case and the accessories that came with it (the cleaning tool, especially)
  • The saxophone itself was very nice, but the case was cheap and the zipper finger-holder part fell off right away
  • As you can read for yourself on plenty of other reviews, the low C is useless
  • The case is durable, the accessories seem about complete.

  • I was able to produce some kind of horrible honking sound eventually, but it took a lot of adjustment
  • This saxophone has a good sound, and is easy for our son to play
  • this is a great instrument.awosome sound and intonation

Reviews around bite (2.18 of 5)

  • color accents are a cheap lacquer but it does a nice bit of pairing it to the person playing it.
  • At first the sax was a bit hard to play, notes not coming out right
  • I had a bit of trouble pushing the mouthpiece in, cracking a bit of the cork, even though I had put cork grease on the cork
  • So far everything is good!Pros:Case is goodLightComes with tunerCons:Saxophone squeaks a bit once you first play itNo book came with
  • After that they most likely won`t play it anymore

Reviews around review (2.02 of 5)

  • Some of the bad reviews were by people who described themselves as "professionals" or band directors, music teachers or instrument repair technicians
  • Although some reviews said that the teachers at schools did not like the quality, it is good one
  • The most popular negative review seems to be from someone who never bought this sax.
  • I am a fairly experienced player, and I have to say I expected a lot more with all the positive reviews on this product
  • I noticed that the good reviews tended to be by people who bought the instrument for someone else, usually a young relative, not by the people who actually used it

Reviews around key (1.81 of 5)

  • I think I know why there are so many reports of broken keys, bent rods etc
  • I have no idea how responsive the keys are, or how the sound compares, or anything like that
  • Replacement had a broken wire that secured another key.
  • I had been using this sax for about three and a half years and right now the d-key is very weird and the e-key pad had been falling off constantly even after we melted the glue and put it back on
  • The A keys still dragging and the leather pads sound like my daughter chewing gum, again.

Reviews around neck (1.72 of 5)

  • I also found a C-clamp useful, to compress the posts toward each other, and with blocks of wood make a vise for the bail of the neck valve
  • I did purchase a new strap with padding for him because the strap hurt his neck, but that was like $
  • We did buy him a better, more comfortable neck strap, the one it came with was not comfortable for him, that's been his only complaint
  • The strap that comes with this is garbage and will ruin your neck and shoulders and a cleaning kit is essential for keeping moisture out of the neck and mouthpiece of your instrument when you're done playing
  • The neck is the greatest and most immediate problem, as notes below A in the upper register will squeak if that neck valve opens on a press of the octave key
