  • This saxaphone gives a crisp clear sound and I think it's a great value for money

Reviews around product (4.26 of 5)

  • I would recommend this product for beginners, but keep in mind the accessories are not very good.
  • All of what I asked for and more, thank you for a timely and quality product
  • Don’t understand why a product that is a good quality would mess up like this
  • If they send a replacement and it works well, this is a good product!
  • The neck strap broke as well so even though it looks like a great product it is not good.

Reviews around price (4.16 of 5)

  • Great price considering a semester of rentals would have cost the same.
  • But, the price is cheap, so obviously, you get what you pay for.
  • I know I'll have to get use to blowing it because I've been blowing a MARTIN LOW C for 32 years.
  • Love the entire package, very good price for a beginning saxophonist.
  • 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

Reviews around case (3.83 of 5)

  • As you can read for yourself on plenty of other reviews, the low C is useless
  • he case falling apart has led to damage to the instrument
  • The case is durable, the accessories seem about complete.
  • The case and extras that came with it are a nice bonus.
  • The saxophone itself was very nice, but the case was cheap and the zipper finger-holder part fell off right away

  • After that they most likely won`t play it anymore

Reviews around review (2.02 of 5)

  • Do not buy, read all of the bad reviews, then take it from someone who is out 240 bucks and don't buy.
  • I heard a whole lot of bad reviews on the Mendini but mine is so far so good
  • Some of the bad reviews were by people who described themselves as "professionals" or band directors, music teachers or instrument repair technicians
  • 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
  • Yes, there was some 1 star reviews, but there were tons of good reviews that I thought offset the bad ones

Reviews around key (1.81 of 5)

  • The Mendini by Cecilio instruments DEGRADE RAPIDLY!Even with proper care and maintenance, the keys go out of alignment
  • 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
  • I have no idea how responsive the keys are, or how the sound compares, or anything like that
  • The A keys still dragging and the leather pads sound like my daughter chewing gum, again.
  • Replacement had a broken wire that secured another key.

Reviews around neck (1.72 of 5)

  • 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
  • I did purchase a new strap with padding for him because the strap hurt his neck, but that was like $
  • 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 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
  • 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
