    Obviously not the best clarinet in the world, but definitely the best clarinet in the world for under a hundred bucks. A serious instrument for a beginner, not a toy. Action on the keys is good and like more expensive instruments, tone is nice, and the reeds they give you are actually quite decent. My 4th grader wanted to try the clarinet, and he is really enjoying it and fully engaged. Definitely more than sufficient for a kid to give the instrument an honest try. If they're any good, then you can buy them a more expensive one later. And if they're not any good? The price didn't break the bank. I'm pretty impressed to be honest---there's no way when I was a kid I could have gotten an instrument like this for this price, it just didn't exist. I had bought a Mendini trumpet and was somewhat less impressed; the clarinet exceeded my expectation.

    ***Just a follow up, October 2019. Son is STILL using this clarinet as his main instrument--swears that this instrument plays better than the clarinets the school rents out to students, etc. Not one thing has been out of place on the clarinet--no repairs have been needed, everything is great.

    **** Another follow up, about a month after the above. A pad or two came loose from the keys. Brought the clarinet in to the local grandmaster instrument repair guy. He fixed it right up--told me the pads aren't great on the Mendini's anyway. Everything else was fine, he was surprised at how nicely the instrument plays. If I could do this whole thing over, I'd buy my son this instrument again as his first instrument. No question.

    I bought this clarinet a month ago. I have been teaching myself to play. It is a great instrument for a beginner like me. With the cork grease provided was very difficult to put together, but when I purchased a cleaning kit from my local music store it came with some cork grease, which has made putting the clarinet together much easier. The sound of the instrument is nice and clear. The other accessories that came with the clarinet were nice, the gloves are cheaply made but for the price I paid wasn't expecting them to be perfect. I would recommend this clarinet to other beginners.

    It’s a perfect beginner clarinet my only real complaint is that the ligature (the piece that holds the reed in place) is hard to secure and often slips out of place during normal use. I’m not sure if it’s the reeds at fault (which is probably likely) that came with the clarinet or if it’s an isolated problem with this particular piece. I would recommend ordering different reeds that are more uniform in thickness and not too thick. Other than that it’s perfect. I bought this clarinet to brush up on my previously learned skills. And relearn how to read music that I seemed to have forgotten with time, however it came right back to me! I love the case it’s almost like a canvas material, or if you have ever felt a children’s stroller it’s almost exactly like that on the outside. It has a small pocket on the front to hold small sheet music and a lyre if you need it. As well as a pencil and chapstick. Much needed items for a clarinet player. The cork material is good and thick so make sure you take care while putting together and make sure you use the wax included! It can be a little difficult to piece together and tuning it the first couple of times so first time students may need some assistance. All in all it’s a quality beginner clarinet. It sounds almost exactly like my other clarinet I had that was way way way more expensive. I’m not sure if it’s because of the way my mouth is shaped/air flow or if it is the material I should have my husband try it and see if it’s just me :)

    Got this clarinet for my 12 year old daughter, as she is in band for the second year, and last year alone I spent over $250 renting one from the local music store. Yes, the one from the music store was of better quality, but this one is almost as good and works perfect. So I definitely recommend this clarinet to anyone who has a school aged child that has been placed in band class and assigned the clarinet, because let’s face it, band is not for everyone and you do not want to throw away your money.

    I am an 8th grade student, currently playing clarinet. I have played clarinet for two years, so I was not looking for a professional $600 clarinet. I saw this clarinet and it seemed decent in the picture. BUT........ pictures can be deceiving!! This clarinet came in a decent case, and all the components were wrapped up. I slowly took unwrapped the everything. I personally had reeds and did not use the ones that the clarinet came with (my reeds are the brand Royal, very good quality). The next day I set up my clarinet in class, and we started to warm-up. I played middle C through high C. Then I played B....... the one right below middle C. That is when all chaos broke loose. The teacher asked if we could play a few specific notes for tuning. I played middle C to high C....... then played low B. It sounded exactly the same to C. I then played A. Same thing happened. Then played low G. The clarinet could not handle it. I could not even make a peep. One of the keys were even bent, as well. This product is "Amazon's Choice". That is honestly a scam. This clarinet should not even have one star, it should have zero. Nextly, I went to a music store to purchase a different clarinet. I walked in with this one and told them about the clarinet. They said that this Mendini brand is infamous for their quality, and that there is a numerous amount of customers that ask if they can fix their Mendini. Do not buy this product, and don't make the same mistake I did. Remember, pictures are deceiving!!

    Bought this for my 4th grader in order to avoid renting an instrument for school. This clarinet has a beautiful sound. Sounded much better compared to the rented instrument. Bought size 2.0 reeds to use with this. The fit is tight. Definitely needed a lot of cork grease but nothing that my kid can't handle. The customer service is very responsive. I emailed with questions and they answered very promptly.
    If you're concerned on quality for your student player, just get this! You won't regret it.
