Reviews around product (4.26 of 5)

  • 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
  • As you can read for yourself on plenty of other reviews, the low C is useless
  • Don’t understand why a product that is a good quality would mess up like this
  • All of what I asked for and more, thank you for a timely and quality product
  • I would recommend this product for beginners, but keep in mind the accessories are not very good.

Reviews around price (4.16 of 5)

  • 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 know I'll have to get use to blowing it because I've been blowing a MARTIN LOW C for 32 years.
  • But, the price is cheap, so obviously, you get what you pay for.
  • Great price for novices who don't want to break the bank
  • Great price considering a semester of rentals would have cost the same.

Reviews around case (3.86 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.
  • As you can read for yourself on plenty of other reviews, the low C is useless
  • The saxophone itself was very nice, but the case was cheap and the zipper finger-holder part fell off right away
  • The case is fantastic and very durable, the only issue was with the neck strap didn't have cushion and the strap rubs on you neck
  • he case falling apart has led to damage to the instrument

Reviews around review (2.02 of 5)

  • Although some reviews said that the teachers at schools did not like the quality, it is good one
  • Yes, there was some 1 star reviews, but there were tons of good reviews that I thought offset the bad ones
  • I heard a whole lot of bad reviews on the Mendini but mine is so far so good

Reviews around key (1.81 of 5)

  • I brought it to a reputable repair shop and the technician stuck a thin tube light inside the sax and showed me just how many light leaks the keys had
  • The Mendini by Cecilio instruments DEGRADE RAPIDLY!Even with proper care and maintenance, the keys go out of alignment
  • I think I know why there are so many reports of broken keys, bent rods etc
  • The A keys still dragging and the leather pads sound like my daughter chewing gum, again.
  • 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

Reviews around neck (1.72 of 5)

  • Awesome item but the neck screw doesn't tien all the way so the neck stays loose
  • 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
  • it goes sharp really easily, but that is just because I have a small mouthpiece, and b. the g-sharp pad and low c-sharp pad have been sticky
  • 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
  • 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
