This Mendini saxophone is the perfect instrument for student musicians and a great addition to any musician's collection. 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 musicians. The tone is deep and rich with even intonation throughout the full range. Each instrument is assembled with over 300 handcrafted parts that are all made by Cecilio. There are no off the shelf parts.
How do I tune my saxophone?
- Pitch is affected by temperature, so warm your sax up before playing by blowing air through it.
- Ensure the mouthpiece covers ¾ of the neck cork, an ideal placement for tuning.
- Pulling out or pushing in the mouthpiece in small increments can adjust the intonation from sharp to flat.
- Reed must be moistened with water before it can produce the correct tune.

I received my Mendini Saxophone several weeks ago and was not sure what to expect. There are some buyers who complained about quality of the arrived item. I had no such problem and found the sax to be playable right out of the box! The tone is very good and all of the keys were operational including the very lowest. It has been an absolute delight!That being said, you get a lot for your money and there are several items to take more of! The case is well designed and carries everything I need. There were some who said that it fell apart after a week. That is why I say “You get what you pay forâ€. I treat all items very carefully like it’s gold and make sure to be gentle at all times. If you have a child who has their first instrument, you should stress that this is not a toy and teach them how to treat the sax and the case with care.Also under “You Get What You Pay Forâ€, I found the neck strap useless as it kept slipping out of the strap loop, the reeds were not great and the mouthpiece was adequate at most. Plan on spending an extra $75 for a Yamaha 4C mouthpiece, buy a ten pack of Vandoren or Rico reeds and buy the Petift Cleaning Kit which includes a large cloth which can be put through the bell to clean it, a better strap to replace the one which comes with the sax, and a cleaning brush for the mouthpiece. All can be found on Amazon.Overall, with or without the included modifications, I would highly recommend this saxophone!An update 2 years later: during the pandemic this instrument got little play but I picked it up 21 months after first purchasing it and am playing it daily for 30-60 minutes a day. It is definitely holding up and the case is still in 1 piece! I had an incident with the G# key falling off but found the screw and have kept an eye on maintaining the sax. I recommend you buy a saxophone stand for it and keep it in a conspicuous area for the musician playing it since just looking at it makes you want to play more!

I ordered this saxophone for my 5th grade daughter to use in her school band class. I'm not expert enough to speak to other situations, but if you're considering purchasing this saxophone for a young, beginning player, I highly recommend it. Two reasons:#1 I'm familiar with other instruments but know/knew next to nothing about the sax, so I asked my daughter to have her teacher give me an honest opinion. The music teacher said that for a beginning musician, this sax is more than adequate; he felt that it was probably good enough to last a musician into high school band. Again, while a serious, experienced saxophonist would probably want a better horn, the "Mendini by Cicilio" is fine for a beginner.#2. The cost as compared to renting from my local music store. Obviously this will vary from place to place but I live in Utah, where things tend to be comparatively inexpensive. That said, to rent my daughter a sax would have been $55 a month. We could return it any time, or after paying $1100 we would have owned it. But at a minimum we would have needed the rental for nine months--one school year--for a total cost of $495. That's about $300 more than it cost to purchase a sax outright. Yes, the rental was a better quality Yamaha, but see "reason #1" above for why that doesn't matter. The only benefit to renting was free repairs, but unless someone is seriously careless with the instrument that's not going to cost anywhere near $300. In other words, as counter-intuitive as it seems, it was much cheaper to buy this saxophone than it would have been to rent one for a single scholastic year. This doesn't even consider the 10 free reeds (they run about $2.50 each, retail), or the tuner/metronome (like the sax--not top quality but certainly good enough to get you started; probably a $15-20 value). The only hardware I'd suggest upgrading immediately is the neck strap: the one included is uncomfortable and has actually come unhooked a couple times just by the weight of the instrument.To sum up: this is a very decent saxophone for a very low price, much lower than anything else I could find. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase, as is my daughter, the nascent saxophonist. It still sounds like an angry goose when she plays, but her teacher assures me she's doing fine, and that she has a good instrument to learn on.

Shipment of the product met and exceeded my expectations. I was truly elated when the instrument showed up at my door step approximately a week or so before the scheduled shipment date. My appreciation goes out to the shipper!

I experienced difficulty playing because R5 does not close properly. There was no "replace option" only "return." The problem with return is that I will only receive back 50% of my money. They shipment will also be charged to me. I think it was a mistake to purchase this from amazon.From Psychodeer - Amazon マーケットプレイス(ã“ã®åº¦ã¯å½“店をã”利用ã„ãŸã ãèª ã«ã‚ã‚ŠãŒã¨ã†ã”ã–ã„ã¾ã™ã€‚è¿”å“ã®ã”ä¾é ¼ã§ã™ãŒã€å½“店ã¯ä¸¦è¡Œè¼¸å…¥ã‚·ãƒ§ãƒƒãƒ—ã§ã—ã¦ã€èª¬æ˜Žã«ã‚‚ã‚ã‚Šã¾ã™ã‚ˆã†ã«ã€ã‚ャンセルã¯ã§ãã¾ã›ã‚“。ã©ã†ã—ã¦ã‚‚ã¨è¨€ã†å ´åˆã¯ã€amzonã®è¿”å“ãƒãƒªã‚·ãƒ¼ã®ã‚ˆã‚Šã€ä¸‹è¨˜ã®ã¨ãŠã‚Šã¨ãªã‚Šã¾ã™ã€‚ãŠå®¢æ§˜éƒ½åˆã®è¿”å“・交æ›é–‹å°æ¸ˆã¿ã®å ´åˆï¼š 商å“代金（税込）ã®50%を返金ã—ã¾ã™ã€‚æ›´ã«ã€ã“ã®å•†å“ã¯æµ·å¤–並行輸入å“ã§ã™ã®ã§ã€è¿”å“ã™ã‚‹éš›ã¯ã€å›½éš›æ‰‹æ•°æ–™ï¼ˆã‚¢ãƒ¡ãƒªã‚«åˆè¡†å›½ãƒãƒãƒ€å·žã®å€‰åº«ã¾ã§ã€4100円）を差ã—引ã„ã¦ã”返金ã„ãŸã—ã¾ã™ã€‚ã”了承ãã ã•ã„。国内ã«ãŠã„ã¦è»¢é€ã®å‡¦ç†ã‚’致ã—ã¾ã™ãŒã€å•†å“ãŒãŠå®¢æ§˜ã«å±Šã„ãŸéš›ã¯ã€å…ƒæ‰•ã„ã®ç™ºé€ã§ä¸‹è¨˜ã®ä½æ‰€ã¸è¿”å“ã‚’ãŠé¡˜ã„ã„ãŸã—ã¾ã™ã€‚é€ã‚Šå…ˆã¯ã€ä¸‹è¨˜ã¾ã§ãŠé¡˜ã„ã—ã¾ã™ã€‚)

MY Granddaughter wanted to play the saxophone , i signed her up for it at school. the music store was there to offer rentals for the year.. wow in the tune of $530.00 for 10 month rental. so when i got back home i looked on amazon and found this one. i emailed it to her teacher and she approved it and could not believe the crazy price 200.00 cheaper then renting not to mention its hers to keep.... HANDS DOWN I WOULD BUY ANOTHER ONE, came very well wrapped gorgeous instrument and my 7 year old granddaughter is the talk of the school owning her own. the teacher passed this around to a few of the parents, but wanted the music store to profit as well.. this instrument you will not be sorry .. amazing thank you so much .. sorry took so long to write review i wanted my granddaughter to have some time on it. and the price maybe inexpensive but the unit itself is defiantly not a cheap unit.. TOP DRAWER. AND WILL LAST HER FOR YEARS HER INSTRUCTOR informed me... kudos amazon seller... your awesome..I was looking for the picture to upload of my granddaughter with the instrument .. she loves it.. Nana wins
