    Pretty Solid Flute!

    Pretty Solid Flute!
    Background: I’m currently a college student studying music education. My background is actually voice and collaborative piano, but I also played bassoon in grade school for 7 years and briefly played flute and clarinet.I was pleasantly surprised with this instrument! I have a Gemeinhardt B-Foot Intermediate flute, but it needs a lot of work, and I wanted to spend a little money to see if I liked playing flute enough to warrant getting my nicer instrument overhauled. It has a pleasant tone, wonderful tuning, nice key response, and a beautiful gold lacquer. I noticed when it arrived there was a small scratch in the head joint, but other than that the instrument arrived in impeccable condition. However, I would not recommend this instrument to a young beginner, as the quality may not be quite what your child’s band or orchestra teacher is looking for. It works fine for my purpose - to refresh my flute playing enough to warrant me to fix my Gemainhardt. Overall a very nice instrument at a very affordable price!

    I wanted to get back to playing the flute after over 40 years but didn't want to pay a high price. This is the perfect instrument to play around with and reacquaint myself with the basics. The sound on the high notes isn't the best, but sufficient. I've had a blast re-learning the notes and fingering. It's a great flute for a beginner, very nice-looking and shiny.

    I bought this for my daughter who is taking up flute lessons, as she learns at school with their instrument and comes home to show me she is doing Great, the sound is wonderful and the durability has held up to the test of already being taken apart and put back together again, many many times. Her only issue is that this instrument is a little longer than the one she uses in school, but it doesn't bother her that much she actually prefers it as it helps her with the one she uses at school

    Excellent flute for the price. No issues.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2019
    This is the third Mendini instrument I've purchased (I bought and reviewed their tenor sax and clarinet). It has one problem that all their flutes, at least in this line, will have: the edges of the embouchure hole are not sharp. This produces weaker, less focused, tone than you'd get on a better flute.

    I play a top of the line Gemeinhardt, which when I purchased it was better, at least for me, than several new Haynes and a Powell that I also tried.

    The tenons are tight and need to be worked and cleaned initially. I would deal with this before giving it to a beginner.

    This particular flute arrived with a D# key that would not close all the way, unless I "flicked" my finger off the lever, then it closed. Key oil helped, but it still stuck open now and again. When I loosed the screw rod about 0.1" the key freed up. Also with the foot removed, the key was freer to close. I think that lightly sanding the ends of the key's tube with very fine sandpaper (1200-2400 grit) would have helped.

    I should note, good instrument stores will service new flues before selling them, from student to high-end models. Thirty years ago I had my flute overhauled. I did not think it needed it, but I was moving, and it seemed like a good time to do it. $750 later, it played better than when it was new! This Mendini would benefit too, but no one is going to pay that for an $80 flute.

    Ideally, beginners should learn on good instruments that do not have problems, but, for obvious reasons, this rarely happens. With its faults and given the cost, the Mendini is a reasonable beginner's flute, but I would recommend having it serviced first.

    If you decide to return this flute for a refund, expect to pay for shipping charges per UPS... and expect to wait a month to receive the refund credited back to you. Difficult for me to get good tone. Perhaps it is me - for it has been decades since I've handled a flute. I'm a clarinet player and for the price, it was worth checking out. There are items missing (no stand, no booklet - which would've been nice).

    The 5 stars goes to Amazon delivery. It was really gratifying that I got free shipping to Colombia with the promise of delivering on January 15th but I received it on January 8th!!!!. Amazon sent my flute through DHL Express at no cost for me. That I appreciate as a customer and definitely will keep buying staff trough Amazon.
    About the flute, just unboxed it today, played the only three melodies I know, and so far very very good. Easy to play the low range for me, a totally beginner. Will keep practicing.

    I am thankful I got this flute. The accessories and quality of the flute are worth it especially for students in their school band. The case has a handle and everything you need to maintain the cleanliness. The sound is amazing.

    Purchased this to replace a 10 y/o family hand me down flute. Honestly didnt have super high hopes, only that it would get daughter through the rest of the school year. She loves it and band teacher asked where she purchased it, other band members are in need of new flute and she was happy with quality and sound.
