    Mendini by Cecilio Silver Plated Closed Hole C Flute with Stand, 1 Year Warranty, Case, Cleaning Rod, Cloth, Joint Grease, and Gloves - MFE-S+SD+PB

    • If you have a child that just started band and you don't want to buy an expensive instrument before you are sure your kid is committed, this is the instrument for you
    • So far so good my daughter who is in the band for the first time (6 grade middle school) says she is enjoying her instrument!
    • It's not reasonable to expect anyone to replace or repair such an inexpensive instrument
    • Great starter instrument for a beginner
    • This is an Amazing instrument for beginners, I came from playing brass to learn flute, this one is just so easy to play and get around it, it even sounds better than my friend’s flute which is about 7-8 times this price.
    • This instrument is hard to hold because of the smooth finish.
    • Great instrument for the price.
    • The sound quality is beautiful and the instrument looks great
    • I understand the hesitation to spend the money necessary on a proper quality instrument.
    • I am a high school band director and have learned from experience that the Mendini/Cecilio instruments are, well, not really instruments.
    • It won't last forever, but this instrument is perfect to prove the desire and ability to play the instrument, and to justify a more expensive instrument when it finally needs to be upgraded
    • If he enjoys playing this instrument I will invest in a higher quality instrument.
    • The reviewer who stated he has to take the flute in to get it repaired 3 or 4 times at shortly after purchase ended up paying $120 in repairs didn't have a repairman who knew about these cheap instruments
    • It is a good beginner instrument
    • I would love a GOOD cheap instrument to be available
    • Good price - instrument performed well.
    • The instrument simply lacks the finesse of the better quality brands
    • Cheap instruments like this are not worth spending your time and money on, even if it sees like the price is great
    • Perfect instrument for a beginner
    • Cheap instruments like this are not worth spending your time and money on, even if it sees like the price is great
    • This is a beautiful instrument and seems well-made
    • In a few months, you will be stuck with a perpetually broken instrument that either you will pour money in to trying to fix it, or that is so broken it can't be
    • Beautiful instrument.
    • Horrible instrument
    • I'm excited to start playing the beautiful instrument.
    • I would love a GOOD cheap instrument to be available
    • Great instrument at a great price thanks
    • Shows that these cheap "instrument" manufacturers don't know anything about flutes
    • I suposse it would be a good instrument
    • It won't last forever, but this instrument is perfect to prove the desire and ability to play the instrument, and to justify a more expensive instrument when it finally needs to be upgraded
    • I would not get her a very expensive instrument, because I don't know how long she will want to practice
    • Beautiful instrument
    • good instrument
    • Great Instrument, great price.

    • GOOD QUALITY INSTRUMENT.
    • It is an excellent instrument.
    • Great price for a great instrument.
    • The band director also told my daughter that it is overall a poor quality instrument
    • well worth the money great starter instrument
    • Good instruments are atill valuable years after - people are still playing on instruments from the 40s
    • As a musician, I was not inclined to buy a cheap instrument, but my partner ordered one after seeing the difficulty of securing an instrument.
    • Excellent instrument my son love it!
    • I had no illusions buying an instrument from Amazon rather than a music store, however, I expected it to last at least till the end of the school year
    • We've had no problems with it so far and it's a great sounding instrument.
    • I only bought it to see if I could still play and if I'd deserve a better instrument later
    • Just rent a real instrument and support your local economy in the process.
    • Or I guess, if you want the case, stand, cloth, and other add-ons that come with it then buy it, but just don't expect a real working useful instrument.
    • This might work out as a spare or emergency back up instrument for some.
    • Great instrument
    • The music teacher stated the instrument was very nice and had a nice sound
    • For the price it is a great instrument.
    • This is a nice instrument for a new student.
    • Flutes generally need to be individually adjusted to sound their best, and for only around $100, of course, the vendor can't afford to fine tune each instrument.
    • I contact the company about a week ago and explain to them the musical instrument was not working
    • I would recommend this instrument for those with beginning band students.
    • We were worried it was not going to be a good instrument because the price was so low
    • These instruments are absolutely horrible.
    • The instrument plays well looks good and comes with accessories
    • Ask your band director for help finding an affordable instrument that will work for you child AND will have a good resale value.
    • All instruments with pads can experience leaks
    • Thank u
