Description
Mendini by Cecilio’s easy to assemble, finely crafted instruments are perfect for students or new musicians just learning to play. Start your child’s musical journey with expertly-engineered violins and violas that provide orchestra-quality sound. Experience the rich tones of brass instruments crafted for powerful sound and smooth playing. Start jamming with our collection of colorful, student-level 3-piece and 5-piece drum sets. Explore our collection of saxophones, clarinets, flutes, and piccolos, and find everything you need to hit the right note. What should I do if the flute keys stick or do not close fully? Check loose screws on key mechanism. Tighten gently with mini screwdriver, test seal after each turn. Inspect needle springs beneath keys for proper positioning. This ensures responsive keys and reliable sealing. What if the flute plays too sharp in pitch? Gently pull the headjoint slightly outward from the body. This adjustment lowers the overall pitch to bring the instrument back into tune. What if the flute plays too flat? The headjoint cork may shift from correct position. Use cleaning rod to check—the mark on rod end must align with blow hole center. Adjust cork to restore proper pitch.

Low price, high quality, good for beginners

I received this flute quickly and in good order. There were no stoppers holding the keys in place (a feature other bargain flutes have) but the instrument arrived with no key problems. My flute had a little glob of glue on one key that was irritating my 3rd finger. I contacted customer service and we worked out a solution. I filed it down with a nail file and now it is barely noticeable. I didn't want to return this flute because my specimen was perfect otherwise and, at this price point, they might send a bad one. I really like this flute. I like the nickel plating (no allergy to this metal). I have an expensive silver plated flute and it tarnishes somewhat. I'm getting good color from the low notes, better than expected. I LOVE the split e lever. I have never had a flute with split e, but I sailed up the scale freely. The action of this flute is heavier than my expensive one. It feels like a flute I played in High School. I have no idea how long this instrument will last. I got it as a back up to my better flute. Student usage that's rough on instruments could shorten it's life. I understand that band directors don't have time to fix flutes. A better and fixable instrument is probably better for school band use. The case for the flute is adequate, but no more. Same with the stand. The white gloves I wore at handbell practice and they are perfect for rehearsals. I do have small hands but these gloves fit well All in all I am pleased with my purchase. Can't beat the value. Good customer service for a minor problem. I now want a piccolo and will probably choose this brand again for a "try it" instrument

I purchased this mainly on a whim. I was wanting to get back into music, and stumbled on this while searching for a decent Irish whistle. I took the chance and got this flute for $80 tax and all, and I am glad I did. A decent beginner flute will run you ~$500+. . . FOR A REASON. I had my initial practice session with this flute blissfully unaware of how precise and expensive these instruments are. After the first 6 hour long session, I went to clean the flute and dropped the body. Despite barely hitting the floor hard, it was enough to completely ruin the lower body keys to where, even with an attempt to repair, it leaks too much to learn more than the left hand note register. This is the main drawback of this flute, and quite frankly the others in this range. They are cheap for a reason, though this is less a flaw with Mendini and more a problem with the whole cheap flute options. This leads me to the kind part of this review. This is a great and cost safe method to get started. The accessories you get are quite nice, and should be compatible with better quality instruments going forward. Even as a total beginner, it was really easy to get going and get a good sound. Even a week in I can hit upper C, BAG with flawless precision. Will this win you contests? No. Will this get you past a year? No. What this is, is a cheap way to determine if you truly want to pursue the flute, and thanks to this I can genuinely understand, appreciate, and stomach spending $500 on a higher grade reliable flute. I have to circle back and point out the biggest drawback though. These cheap flutes are made thin with cheap materials. Repair shops won't even look at these typically, and cost of COA or, God forbid, repairs will immediately exceed the cost of this flute. One good drop like I had and you are stuck with a wall decoration and some accessories you can almost certainly use later. There are a few videos on YouTube where professionals have tested these low priced instruments, and I can reiterate the same thing they did. If you fear you or your kid will not continue beyond a month or so, or need a super cheap placeholder, this is sufficient to get started if you treat it like fragile glass (so none of the abuse crap we did in band class that would make me cry watching it now). If you are aiming to play long term and just want to save a few dollars, AVOID. Get a $500 range Yamaha or Gemeinhardt. You genuinely do get what you pay for here. The thing about flutes is that going less expensive than $500-1000 will actually work against you, but as with all instruments, especially flute, you are more important to the result than the instrument itself. I got a chance to try a $12,000 flute today and the grand result was that I sounded about the same as I did on a $500 Yamaha, and that was barely better than this $80 flute. You will only feel the price initially in build quality and how soon you will need to trade it because eventually the instrument quality does begin to matter. So just keep this in mind, that $80 is a good test, but ~$500 is the starting point. As for me, I will keep practicing the CBAG and see what other few notes I can still play while I save up over the next few months to replace it with something that will be more reliable and last me the next few years before I outgrow it. When I do, this will make a nice wall decoration piece, and an emergency head and foot.

I haven’t touched a flute or piccolo in roughly 16 years but my alumni band wants to do a concert. Figured I would grab a cheap flute online to relearn and participate and donate to a kid who wants to learn but can’t afford it after the concert. I was pleasantly surprised bordering on shocked that this has a decent sound. You won’t be asked to join an orchestra with it but it will get you started! It comes with so much more than my old Gemeinhardt did and it has a screwdriver too. That was fortunate as a screw was loose which didn’t allow the one note to play. Easy fix. So nice for the price.

This is amazing ifs not those cheap crappie ones it is awesome 👏 and you get a strap for it too. I very highly recommend this flute. It is easy to play just like a flute from Riverton music. It is perfect for any age. The color is a beautiful silver. It works perfect for performing. I highly recommend.👌

It’s a decent flute for a beginner – I bought it for my sixth grader who was going into band. I didn’t want to spend a ton of money as I did not know if she was going to stick with it. However, after a year her teacher reached out to me because several of the pads were leaking and the sound quality was quickly deteriorating. The teacher had tried to make some adjustments to the keys to see if she could salvage it, but it was impossible. So now a year later, I’m buying another flute. My daughter seems serious so I am definitely going with a higher quality instrument this time. I’m not at all sorry that I purchased this flute but you definitely get what you pay for – if you’re buying it for someone who is serious about music, it probably is not a good choice as you will be replacing it quickly.
