  • Product Description

    Teacher approved, Mendini saxophones are the perfect instruments for the student musicians and a great addition to any level players. The large bore makes it easy for young players to get a great, full bodied sound and the fast action keys allow for easy playability for all players. The tone is deep and rich with even intonation throughout the full range. Each instrument is assembled with over 300 hand crafted parts that are all made exclusively by Cecilio. There are no off the shelf parts. Every saxophone is play tested at Cecilio's factory and re-tested at their Los Angeles distribution center to ensure that their high quality standards are met. This is why thousands of instructors have approved these saxophones. Package includes: a plush lined nylon covered hard case with backpack strap and zippered pocket, a neck strap, a mouthpiece with reed and cap, a box of 10 reeds (size 2.5"), a polishing cloth, cleaning rod, and a pair of white gloves to keep your instruments spot free when being played.

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the brass and woodwind instruments. Some mention it's a great quality instrument, while others say it'll break easily. The reeds are subpar, and the material is fragile.

    "...PHYSICAL CONDITION UPON OPENINGThe horn appeared in good condition. There was a reed already on the mouthpiece...." Read more

    "...The reeds they provide are almost worthless. The positives are that this instrument looks and generally sounds GREAT!..." Read more

    "...Sounds mostly like a soprano sax from an timbre perspective.Decent case - easy to carry and hook up a shoulder strap. Not sure on durability." Read more

    "...indication of what was overly tightened. This is now a very useable horn and I'm happy to have it at such an amazing price! I believe..." Read more

    37 customers mention22 positive15 negative

    Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the brass and woodwind instruments. Some mention that it works great and sounds nice, while others say that it's horrible and the intonation isn't as nice. The built-in mic doesn't hear a thing and therefore registers nothing on the tuner.

    "...The metal has a good thickness to it and I was able to get a nice clear tone even with the stock mouthpiece they provided...." Read more

    "...Other reviewers said the mouthpiece on this was not very good. Honestly, I've never met a stock mouthpiece I have liked and this was no different...." Read more

    "...To its credit though, the Tone was good, and it played easily. I recommend the Yamaha 4C mouthpeice though, it played much nicer with that...." Read more

    "...But, with time on the horn and practice the intonation has improved greatly. I've also tried a couple different mouthpieces on the horn...." Read more

    22 customers mention13 positive9 negative

    Customers are mixed about the performance of the brass and woodwind instruments. Some mention that it performs quite well with exception of the B key sticking. The tuner works great and the case seems protective. However, others say that it didn't play at all, rattles, and the metronome worked ok. The neck was very loose and the instrument was not ready to perform.

    "...It was pretty even. The upper register even played well although there were some minor intonation issues...." Read more

    "...The metronome worked ok, but the tuner part doesn't work at all. The built in mic doesn't hear a thing and therefore registers nothing on the tuner...." Read more

    "...Went and demoed a yamaha 475 II at the music store. Wonderful and no problems, but $2200. Ouch...." Read more

    "...Review-part 2.I had a gig this weekend, and this horn performed outstandingly...." Read more

    17 customers mention8 positive9 negative

    Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the brass and woodwind instruments. Some mention that they could play it pretty easy, the lower register played very smoothly and freely, and the tuning took no time at all. However, others say that the very high end D-F keys were darn near impossible to play, even playing a middle G was hard, and that the soprano is a tricky instrument to play.

    "...I was very impressed that the lower register played very smoothly and freely. What a delight overall...." Read more

    "...best and hitting the very low notes and altissimo notes is very difficult to impossible. The reeds they provide are almost worthless...." Read more

    "...To its credit though, the Tone was good, and it played easily. I recommend the Yamaha 4C mouthpeice though, it played much nicer with that...." Read more

    "...The soprano is a tricky instrument to play. I have played the alto for a couple of years and it took me awhile to start sounding okay on a soprano...." Read more

    10 customers mention0 positive10 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the tuning of the brass and woodwind instruments. They mention that the octave mechanism looks poorly regulated, and the bar on the neck is too far inward. They also say that it's hard to hit the high notes and has trouble with the tone and air leaks. Overall, customers are disappointed with the quality and performance of the product.

    "...Some of the notes were a quarter to half tone off. You could not run up a scale in tune to save your life, no matter how many lip adjustments...." Read more

    "...But sadly, with the unfixable intonation problem, it is going back to Amazon." Read more

    "...To me, the octave mechanism looks poorly regulated...the bar on the neck is too far inward (toward the lifter) so the valve stays open in the lower..." Read more

    "...What little I've tested this shows that the octave vale was slightly out of adjustment, but I've fixed that already (I think)...." Read more

    7 customers mention0 positive7 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the durability of the brass and woodwind instruments. They mention that the screws have worked loose and some fell out. They also say the key guards and bumpers are coming off just from standard use. Customers also mention that accessories that have fallen off and the stuck keys are annoying.

    "...After messing with it for nearly 2 hours, having 2 pearl keys fall off and finding another alignment issue I decided it wasn't worth it...." Read more

    "...(about 5 days now), several other screws have worked loose and some fell out...." Read more

    "...After playing I have started to notice that they key guards and bumpers were coming off just from standard use...." Read more

    "...I addition to this, corks were either misapplied, or falling off - which means intonation would suffer, or a lot of mechanical noise would surface...." Read more

    Great Starting Horn
    Wonderful student instrument! The only complaint I have is that the horn can't seem to figure out whether I'm holding the octave down or not. The bent neck also came with a loose octave, good thing I was only gonna use the straight neck.I would definitely recommend anyone wanting to play soprano to buy this horn.
