Spectacular value for money.
I bought this Mendini tenor saxophone on Amazon. I confess that I was impressed with the quality of the timbre and the tuning.
Total cost benefit.
Based on the reviews here, I wouldn't buy it. I decided to take a chance and I was very happy.
I want to test the curved soprano saxophone and the alto saxophone made by Mendini.
I highly recommend it to everyone!!

My order came in and had a strong odor to it, you know the kind that starts to show up after playing a Brass instrument and has accumulated a little moisture? There were two boxes it was shipped in, one was already cut open. The sleeve the sax was in was torn, indicating this had already been removed once before. The keys had no cork stoppers, again another sign of previous use. Fingerprints were present throughout the horn and more. I bought this new, not used. I have to assume that someone bought this and realized it was unplayable in its current condition and returned it. The store then sold as new.........

The Sax was also unplayable below middle G. This would not suit a beginner player whatsoever as most of the notes a beginner would play are on the lower side. It would be impossible for a beginner to know if it was something the player was doing or if its the horn (based on their knowledge). Extremely bad leaks, I counted 4.

I don't understand how you can supply an instrument with the understanding that it more than likely wont work and will require some adjusting, and not adjust it. As a service to your customers and to protect your companies profits I feel it would be in your best interest to ensure the item works, to help eliminate returns and negative reviews. If this is truly a music store as it leads you to believe, adjusting a brand new horn shouldn't take more than 15-30 minutes of your time. Then again I guess you could always create a new account or change your name, that's probably about the same time frame. I would also suggest not reselling used equipment as new.

To put things into perspective I own a Kessler and Sons Dark Handmade One Soprano sax. These guys grabbed the horn I purchased and tested it prior to shipping it to me. Even left a thank you note and assurance of testing and playability. I didn't need to return the horn because it worked and does so flawlessly.

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2024
Upon opening, I found the neck tightening screw had fallen out and was loose in the case. No big deal. However, the instrument was too tight at the top end to receive the neck being inserted. The neck would not go in. It was a simple matter to encourage the the horn opening below the neck to be slightly wider, but it obviously had not been tested with this particular neck before being shipped. Either that, or the vibration during shipping head somehow caused the top end of the horn to be slightly bent together.

The thumb octave key has too much free play in the pivot mechanism that alternates between opening the neck pad and the top octive pad on the body of the horn. The thumb octave key has to be pressed too far down to be comfortable. There's no adjustability between the two different octave keys/pads on the neck and the top of the horn to make a correction adjustment intuitive. If I keep the horn, I plan to build up the top of the thumb key with Sugru to make changing octaves maybe more comfortable on my thumb.

The high D key below the left palm is far too low. It will have to be built up at least 5/8 of an inch, perhaps more, to comfortably be operated by my palm without having to Kink my wrist.

The high f key is also too low for my , and will have to be built up half an inch or more.

On the other hand, all pads are level and correctly closing over all the key holes. There's a satisfying thunk thunk thunk sound, with obvious tone changes, as you close the keys one at a time, especially with the right hand, while not blowing.

The horn is remarkable for such a low price.
The metal does not feel thin or soft. I think with good care, this horn could stand up to years of use.

Even better, it plays in tune from the high F sharp to the low B flat. That's a new one on me. I realize they are all supposed to play in tune right out of the box, but I've played many saxophones over the last 50 years and this one makes a very good impression for intonation without needing adjustment.

The horn arrived in great condition with the exception of a large scratch on the mouthpiece. It was purely cosmetic and didn’t affect the playability. Contacted the seller to see if we could replace the mouthpiece and they offered a partial refund to make up for the scratch. Refund received within 24 hours with great follow up from the seller.
This is not a professional horn but a stepping stone to get used to playing. Great for a beginner or sometime who hasn’t played in a very long time. Get your chops in shelter before buying a more expensive sax.
