The sound is clear, and the quality is excellent for the price. It comes with everything you need in a sturdy case. 100% recommended for students! Review: It's working for me! - I'm giving this flute 5 stars because it is perfect at being what it is: a cheap (and fun colored!) flute. If you want a pro-grade flute, go pay for a pro-grade flute. But if you want to play flute for under $100, I see no reason not to buy this one. I'm a multi-instrumentalist and music teacher. I'm new to picking up flute. I've had this flute for two days, and I can already play my scales on it. Prior to this, I had literally one week of experience with flute over a decade ago in college. I'm reading some comments here like "it's overly difficult to play because of poor construction." I don't have the experience to say whether other better flutes might be easier, but I don't see this flute as being at all non-functional. One person claims to be a flute maker, and laments that some girl isn't playing songs within three weeks. That girl is obviously not getting requisite training and practice. I can play songs on this within a day. There's even a review here that says the instrument is "out of tune with itself" (that reviewer also says that his previous rental flute was out of tune with itself; which tells me he probably just doesn't know how to play and has trouble with any flute you hand him). That, of course, is a problem with online reviews for ANY musical instrument. People who don't know how to play complain that they can't play and blame the instrument, but that doesn't follow. I'm also reading comments here that the flute is falling apart, or that it broke quickly. Again, this is often less a problem with the instrument and more a problem with the shipping or the user. Mine came with no screws loose (and it comes with a screwdriver to tighten them even if it did). Nothing is broken. Nothing is bent, and frankly, I think you'd have to do something to it before it would bend. Every woodwind student is instructed on day one to be careful when putting the flute together so as not to bend the joints and the keys. I'm not saying that this flute is made of the world's highest quality materials or that it is more durable than more expensive flutes. I'm not even saying other reviewers didn't get theirs in some kind of bad condition; what I can say though is that mine is in good shape and looks for now like it will stay that way. When I read "this flute sucks because my 12-year-old broke it" I don't find that review to be helpful. So, to sum it up: if you want a really nice flute, go pay for a really nice flute. I don't doubt it will be better than this one. If, however, you want a cheap flute that will get the job done, buy this one, and then don't blame it for your inability to play or failure to care for it. ## Features - High Quality Material: This flute is made of high quality copper-nickel alloy, which is bright, smooth and durable, with good resonance and stability, making the tone bright and vibration stable.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mendini By Cecilio Flute, 16 Keys C Flute Instrument Closed Hole For Beginners with Carrying Case, Cork Grease, Stand, Lesson Book, Cleaning Kit, Gloves (Black) - Essential Elements for Band – Flute Book 1 with EEi | Beginner Flute Sheet Music and Online Resources | Hal Leonard Instructional Songbook for Students and Teachers - Rubank Elementary Method - Flute or Piccolo (Rubank Educational Library, 38) - Beginner Flute Music Book --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/43419350-mendini-by-cecilio-flute-16-keys-c-flute-instrument-closed](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/43419350-mendini-by-cecilio-flute-16-keys-c-flute-instrument-closed) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-17*
