Alto Saxophone for Beginners, E Flat Alto Saxophone for Musicians with Tuner, Mouthpiece, Case, 10 Reeds, Grease, Cleaning Cloth & Rod, Gloves, Strap, Lesson Book (Silver)

I got this saxophone in Oct 2025. This is certainly a very high good quality instrument in this price range. Very sturdy and very good control on different sounds- I am totally new to saxophone so I took this to my instructor (2 of them) and both mentioned it was of a good quality- See pictures- Besides the quality, one other thing I want to mention is their customer service- they are prompt and willing to replace any item if there is any problem. I would say their customer service is definitely deserve 5 star.

I ordered this saxophone for my 5th grade daughter to use in her school band class. I'm not expert enough to speak to other situations, but if you're considering purchasing this saxophone for a young, beginning player, I highly recommend it. Two reasons: #1 I'm familiar with other instruments but know/knew next to nothing about the sax, so I asked my daughter to have her teacher give me an honest opinion. The music teacher said that for a beginning musician, this sax is more than adequate; he felt that it was probably good enough to last a musician into high school band. Again, while a serious, experienced saxophonist would probably want a better horn, the "Mendini by Cicilio" is fine for a beginner. #2. The cost as compared to renting from my local music store. Obviously this will vary from place to place but I live in Utah, where things tend to be comparatively inexpensive. That said, to rent my daughter a sax would have been $55 a month. We could return it any time, or after paying $1100 we would have owned it. But at a minimum we would have needed the rental for nine months--one school year--for a total cost of $495. That's about $300 more than it cost to purchase a sax outright. Yes, the rental was a better quality Yamaha, but see "reason #1" above for why that doesn't matter. The only benefit to renting was free repairs, but unless someone is seriously careless with the instrument that's not going to cost anywhere near $300. In other words, as counter-intuitive as it seems, it was much cheaper to buy this saxophone than it would have been to rent one for a single scholastic year. This doesn't even consider the 10 free reeds (they run about $2.50 each, retail), or the tuner/metronome (like the sax--not top quality but certainly good enough to get you started; probably a $15-20 value). The only hardware I'd suggest upgrading immediately is the neck strap: the one included is uncomfortable and has actually come unhooked a couple times just by the weight of the instrument. To sum up: this is a very decent saxophone for a very low price, much lower than anything else I could find. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase, as is my daughter, the nascent saxophonist. It still sounds like an angry goose when she plays, but her teacher assures me she's doing fine, and that she has a good instrument to learn on.

My beginner is in 4th grade and well on the way, so I feel I can accurately report, now having worked over the instrument several times. The neck is the greatest and most immediate problem, as notes below A in the upper register will squeak if that neck valve opens on a press of the octave key. It is clear that nobody at the store bothered to set it up, and you or someone at school will have to figure it out. I don't fault the supplier much, though, because you are going to have to get used to things going wrong. When I was a kid, we didn't send out instruments: there was a senior student in charge of tinkering. So take satisfaction in joining a time-honored tradition! The next thing that went wrong was, pieces of cork mysteriously coming unaffixed from the linkage. It seems that some connections are doubly cushioned unnecessarily, with cork AND a silicone grease fitting. The grease dissolves the contact cement that keeps the cork attached. So if you would prefer the cork, get on that right away. I missed the opportunity, but the instrument seems no worse for wear, after mopping up the mess with some alcohol and cotton swabs. One silicone cushion had to be trimmed with an X-acto knife, because it was hitting an adjacent valve, in the right-hand palm keys. Lastly, my young player tried to stand the instrument with the neck hanging over the back of a chair, and dropped the whole thing, knocking in the right-hand pinky keys and putting the adjacent linkage out of whack.The teacher was going to send it off (I guess she felt responsible for poor supervision and instruction, in this case), but I got out my tools and had it up and running the next day. Just coat posts with hot-melt glue to protect them, before cranking on them with pliers. I also found a C-clamp useful, to compress the posts toward each other, and with blocks of wood make a vise for the bail of the neck valve. Screws were all good quality, handled with my pecision slotted screwdrivers. So my child is honking away happily, and we're both proud. This horn sounds great compared to supposedly better instruments, and has a great look with the Nickel option. Value justifies the effort.

My 9 year old son loves the color! It’s perfect for a starter saxophone! My son takes it daily and the case stands up well. Cant go wrong for a starter instrument. Sound is pretty good also. Comes with a tuner so you can gauge its sound yourself. Pretty nice and budget friendly option.

Bought this sax 3 weeks ago, first time sax player, a few observations.. 1 The sax itself is absolutely beautiful, mine is purple with gold keys. The sound is sassy and warm, the keys seem to be snug where they should be and and move when they shouldn’t. 2 the reeds that come with it are very rough, didn’t use them, got a different brand. Work much better. 3 the mouthpiece looked like a honey badger was using it for a toothpick, there were nicks in the bed, it couldn’t pass a pop test. Got a Yamaha 4c. Plays much better. 4 the case is quite functional for a soft case, the inside is form fitted with hard foam to hold the sax quite firm. Overall it’s a great starter for anyone leaning to play. Oh, and I’m 61, am tone deaf, and partially deaf in both ears, thank you Uncle Sam! And can’t read music. But I’m learning!

Shipment of the product met and exceeded my expectations. I was truly elated when the instrument showed up at my door step approximately a week or so before the scheduled shipment date. My appreciation goes out to the shipper!

Fue un regalo que hice y él esta FELIZ!!!, todo en tiempo y recomiendo ampliamente al vendedor porque cuando quería apoyo de rastreo siempre estaba al pendiente!!, gracias!!! (

MY Granddaughter wanted to play the saxophone , i signed her up for it at school. the music store was there to offer rentals for the year.. wow in the tune of $530.00 for 10 month rental. so when i got back home i looked on amazon and found this one. i emailed it to her teacher and she approved it and could not believe the crazy price 200.00 cheaper then renting not to mention its hers to keep.... HANDS DOWN I WOULD BUY ANOTHER ONE, came very well wrapped gorgeous instrument and my 7 year old granddaughter is the talk of the school owning her own. the teacher passed this around to a few of the parents, but wanted the music store to profit as well.. this instrument you will not be sorry .. amazing thank you so much .. sorry took so long to write review i wanted my granddaughter to have some time on it. and the price maybe inexpensive but the unit itself is defiantly not a cheap unit.. TOP DRAWER. AND WILL LAST HER FOR YEARS HER INSTRUCTOR informed me... kudos amazon seller... your awesome..I was looking for the picture to upload of my granddaughter with the instrument .. she loves it.. Nana wins
