There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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.
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.
