Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2015
This was a gift for my daughter who started playing in her school band recently. The clarinet that I rented from the school was old and falling apart... literally. The keys kept falling out and I had to keep screwing them back in, and one key was locking underneath the one in front of it and even the band teacher couldn't fix the problem. It also had a terrible amount of air leakage.

This Mendini B Flat clarinet was affordable and seemed suitable for a beginner. For the price, well under a hundred, I figured I wouldn't have a problem if she decided to not continue after this year. There is minimal air leakage, much better than the school's clarinet. The keys are secure and it plays much louder with much better sound than the school's clarinet.

I purchased the white clarinet. To give you an idea of the color, it is much more of an antique white which means it has a very yellow cast to the color. It is beautiful, don't get me wrong, but when I ordered it I really thought it would be a striking white color rather than a linen white or antique white color.

I am still giving this five stars because for the price you really can't expect anything better than what you are getting. If my daughter continues to play over the next few years I will then be willing to spend a couple of thousand dollars for a better clarinet, but for the beginner that she is, this is a wonderful clarinet for her to get started with.

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2015
Bought this for my daughter as her first clarinet. The case zipper broke the first week, but so far that is my only complaint. Buy extra cork grease, tho, because the new corking is really tight-I had to assemble and disassemble this thing A LOT before school started before my 12 year old had the strength to do it. My daughter is a beginner and doing great on it-I was first chair national band in college and played a full scale on this clarinet with no difficulty-sound it clear and crisp and all the pads/corking is top notch! The included reeds are not good for beginners-they do not fit the clarinet right. Experiences players can adjust and make beautiful music with them but beginners have a lot of air noises. I highly recommend this as a starter!

Update: after an entire year of practices, solos and recitals, I'm still happy with this woodwind. It survived multiple bus rides, drops (in the case) and three kids playing on it. About halfway in we had a spring on one of the top keys break but it took all of 15 minutes to change. My oldest daughter has decided to quit band for basketball, so my middle daughter is going to play this this year. Very happy to have gotten my money's worth!

The clarinet checks every box I was looking for. It's fairly inexpensive, easy to clean, new (because you can get used for less), and the entire set makes it really easy to get going. The reed placement and embouchure took about 2 months to adjust to play the high notes while working at my own pace, but they are now easier to play than the day it was delivered. It just took time. I also like the white look of this clarinet. Why not something different? It certainly has been a delight and I keep it right next to my work desk for those lulls in the day where a bit of clarinet will lighten my day.

And that it does, satisfyingly.

I have played the clarinet for 9 years. I had a yamaha ebonite clarinet and a wooden clarinet valued over a thousand each. I held first chair for most of my musical career. I sadly sold them both when I got to college because I was pretty broke. 5 yrs later I decided to get back into music so I bought this clarinet. It had such a great value so I gave it a shot. When it arrived I greased it up and all the joints fit together pretty easily for first time set up. It is expertly crafted and looks better than my pricey yamaha! I warmed up and I played a few scales in 2 octaves and wow! It sounds just like my yamaha (granted I have to work on my embrochure, its been years). It has so many accesories too! Like wow. Grease, stand, very sturdy case, cleaning rag, 10 reeds 2.5 strength and gloves. Seriously hit the jackpot with clarinet. I would not say its a professional clarinet sound quality wise (wood is always better) but it is definitely worth more than I paid for it in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you, KK Music Store, for your outstanding support
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2023
I recently had an exceptional experience with KK Music Store, and I wanted to share my review to highlight their outstanding customer service and commitment to customer satisfaction.

I purchased a clarinet for my son, who is in the 6th grade, from KK Music Store. Unfortunately, we encountered an issue where the clarinet was unable to play notes below G. I reached out to their customer support team, and the level of support I received was truly remarkable.

What truly impressed me was that KK Music Store immediately took responsibility for the issue and initiated a solution. They arranged to send us a replacement clarinet without hesitation. Anne provided a specific delivery date and order number, ensuring a seamless process. They also assured us that we didn't need to return the defective instrument, which was a huge relief.

Throughout the entire process, I felt valued as a customer. KK Music Store not only resolved our issue promptly but also did so with a high degree of professionalism and courtesy. Their commitment to their customers' musical journeys is truly commendable.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service we received from KK Music Store. Their team went above and beyond to rectify the problem, and I'm thrilled that my son can now continue his musical education without any hindrance. This experience has solidified my trust in KK Music Store, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of musical instruments or accessories.

Thank you, KK Music Store, for your outstanding support and for making my son's musical journey a positive and memorable one. Your dedication to customer satisfaction is truly remarkable.
Great buy. Really like the look.
