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

Although some reviews said that the teachers at schools did not like the quality, it is good one

Some of the bad reviews were by people who described themselves as "professionals" or band directors, music teachers or instrument repair technicians

Do not buy, read all of the bad reviews, then take it from someone who is out 240 bucks and don't buy.

Anyway excellent horns, and I have read enough reviews/comments to know that Mendini customer support is very proactive

When the horn gets played more, I will update my review on tonal quality, intonation, volume, leaks/no leaks, etc

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

I normally don't bother writing reviews.

i think the so called experts that weighed in with a bad review are petty and

I'm hoping this awful review saves someone else from making the same mistake I did

Yes, there was some 1 star reviews, but there were tons of good reviews that I thought offset the bad ones

I should have paid more attention to the poor reviews this product received.

Ok, not knowing anything about Saxophone's, I ignored the negative reviews on here and ordered this for my son anyways

FYI, I ignore sax reviews that aren't from verified purchasers.

I heard a whole lot of bad reviews on the Mendini but mine is so far so good
