I've been playing a brass colored King Super 20 trumpet since 1972. After using the same colored trumpet for all those years, I decided I'd like to try a different color. The Mendini had good reviews so I took a chance. The case is very good and the attached back straps are a nice touch. The enclosed accessories (oil, cleaning cloth and gloves) were okay. The 7c mouthpiece is alright, but like all 7c mouthpieces, it doesn't fit me. I can't hold this against the the package. On the other hand, it would be nice if mouthpieces other than 7c were available w/ the package. The trumpet was bought in large part for its looks and did not disappoint-it's very attractive. So far (15 mos) the finish is holding up well, although admittedly I normally play only once or twice a week and am very careful. The sound is good. I can't tell any difference between the Mendini and the King. The valves are not quite as smooth as the King, but are definitely smooth enough and are not a problem. I'm not sure it's fair to compare the smoothness of a 50 year old mid-range trumpet to an inexpensive entry level trumpet. All in all, from my perspective the Mendini gets a 5 star review. It's not like my old King or a brand new big name trumpet, but it does what it's supposed to and at a VERY reasonable price. What more could I ask for?
