Reviews around product (4.26 of 5)

  • All of what I asked for and more, thank you for a timely and quality product
  • 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
  • Don’t understand why a product that is a good quality would mess up like this
  • As you can read for yourself on plenty of other reviews, the low C is useless
  • The neck strap broke as well so even though it looks like a great product it is not good.

Reviews around sound (3.82 of 5)

  • This saxophone has a good sound, and is easy for our son to play
  • Also, when playing some of the lower notes, there was an annoying "warbling" sound!
  • It will only help all the other kids identify whose sound is bad even faster.
  • The sound was not bad for the price, but the instrument its self was falling apart the second day I was playing it
  • The body of the instrument, however, is beautiful and very good quality and sound for the price

Reviews around bite (2.18 of 5)

  • So far everything is good!Pros:Case is goodLightComes with tunerCons:Saxophone squeaks a bit once you first play itNo book came with
  • 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
  • color accents are a cheap lacquer but it does a nice bit of pairing it to the person playing it.
  • After that they most likely won`t play it anymore

Reviews around review (2.02 of 5)

  • Anyway excellent horns, and I have read enough reviews/comments to know that Mendini customer support is very proactive
  • I heard a whole lot of bad reviews on the Mendini but mine is so far so good
  • 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
  • The most popular negative review seems to be from someone who never bought this sax.
  • Do not buy, read all of the bad reviews, then take it from someone who is out 240 bucks and don't buy.

Reviews around key (1.81 of 5)

  • Replacement had a broken wire that secured another key.
  • I have no idea how responsive the keys are, or how the sound compares, or anything like that
  • 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
  • The A keys still dragging and the leather pads sound like my daughter chewing gum, again.

Reviews around neck (1.72 of 5)

  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
