    Mendini by Cecilio MAS-BL+92D+PB Blue Lacquer E Flat Alto Saxophone with Tuner, Case, Mouthpiece, 10 Reeds and More

    • It was okay at first, the gloves broke immediately, the tuner wasn't following up, the neck is hard as diamond and you can't push it inside the body
    • I did purchase a new strap with padding for him because the strap hurt his neck, but that was like $
    • Awesome item but the neck screw doesn't tien all the way so the neck stays loose
    • 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
    • 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 know I'll have to get use to blowing it because I've been blowing a MARTIN LOW C for 32 years.
    • 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
    • Low C did not work.
    • As you can read for yourself on plenty of other reviews, the low C is useless
