Alto Saxophone
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.

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 for”. 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 For”, 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!
There are a few reasons I am giving it four stars instead of five. First, the mouthpiece is a piece of junk. Luckily I already had a higher quality mouthpiece. The neck strap was also very mediocre, but I had my own neck strap too so this was really no problem. As far as the saxophone itself, there isn't much bad I can say about it. The two straps that hook onto the case are really low quality too, and one of mine already broke. But unless you actually use those it shouldn't really be a problem. The only problems I have been having is that a. it goes sharp really easily, but that is just because I have a small mouthpiece, and b. the g-sharp pad and low c-sharp pad have been sticky.
Overall, I think it is a great instrument for students/beginners. At $200 it is very reasonably priced. Just make sure you either own your own mouthpiece or get a better mouthpiece if you are buying this.
I find it easy to use . I like the way it’s made. The design , The way it feels in my hands, the mouth piece is easy to clean it came with one reed for starters.
It has a very smooth finish and it sounds great .
