5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty trumpet w/ a nice sound
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2024
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?

4.0 out of 5 stars Cheap gloves, everything else good
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2024
The trumpet is great and sounds good, it came with everything listed all wrapped up or in bags. The valves move fine and so does the middle finger hook in the center. My only complaint is in the gloves. I already have very small and thin hands, and they still manage to be a bit too tight on the fingers while the rest of the glove is too loose, and even though they are tight there is a bit of loose fabric at the finger tips which you can easily get caught beneath a valve. I find it fine to wear one glove to make playing more comfortable, but personally I wouldn't recommend wearing them both.

5.0 out of 5 stars I bought this as a cheap alternative beginner horn like several others
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2017
UPDATE!!! Originally I gave this a 2 star review. The product seemed okay at first but then I realized it wasn't just me, as stated in the original review below. I couldn't get in touch with the seller as it bounced back email wise saying they'd only get it in their Amazon email -- psh, like I believed they'd see that. Well they saw it (or my review).

Either way they got in touch with me -- gave me pointers on adjusting the valves and while it fixed one; the other just seemed wrong still. I think it was honstly just off -- makes horrible noises when it should just be smooth. So they offered to ship a new one with return label for the other (no cost)! It got here already and it's whole different horn! Feels great. I played for an hour because it just felt so right.

I'm very pleased and I feel like the seller is there for me if something were to come up yet again. They were very responsive and quick to get the problem resolved, AND I learned a few things about adjusting valves! :) I look forward to playing and have the confidence I have support behind the horn should something else come up at all. LOVE IT.

ORIGINAL REVIEW (2 stars):
I bought this as a cheap alternative beginner horn like several others. I was quite surprised when it arrived as it comes in a nice carry case with gloves/cleaning cloth and oil (just as advertised). The trumpet itself actually looks very nice and has a feel to it that isn't as cheap as I was expecting. It feels about as any other trumpet might in weight and durability.

Unfortunately I have had trouble with sticky valves. Valve 3 was the most noticeable at first but it seems 1 and 3 are consistantly not making it all the way back up before I'm on to the next note. Unfortunately for my dog, neighbors, and poor husband this sound horrendous beyond beginner trumpet as a suddenly drop G to C or can't make the drop either.

I have tried oiling the valves and even a full clean and oil. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to help. I'm contacting the seller -- I'm hoping there is some trick/fix but knowing how instruments come with very touchy tolerances -- I'm not thinking there will be an easy answer.

While it is affordable and looks pretty great -- it's almost unplayable. :(
