nfro: I am an advanced (but not professional) flute player with over 25 years of experience. For reference purposes, I own a $2500 dollar Pearl open hole/b-foot flute, and a $600 Yamaha student flute. I honestly bought this Mendini simply for the cool black color. Reviews are mixed, but it was cheap and had a return policy which eliminated any concerns about wasting money on a piece of junk. I had low expectations for quality playability, but I am more than pleasantly surprised!
The pros: This Mendini has a beautiful, clear, and consistent tone across it's entire range. The high register is crisp, clean, and effortlessly responsive, which is unusual in cheaper flutes.

B. EachcomberB. Eachcomber: I'm basically a home hobby woodwind player. I've played name brand instruments back in school and have owned a few. I've also bought a number of bargain basement type woodwind instruments on Amazon and other sites, probably too many in retrospect. A few of the bargain instruments have been fair enough. A few have been unsatisfactory for a new student in my opinion.
I bought this Mendini sky blue flute maybe 5 years ago now on Amazon and I have enjoyed playing it. I should say because I have a number of instruments I haven't played it all that much - maybe nearing the equivalent of one semester of elementary school band, if that. The tone quality is fair enough and it plays fairly well in tune for me.
Over time even at my less than advanced level of playing I can notice overall better quality from the name brand instruments, but this Mendini flute could seem fairly close early on..
As playing time has added up on the Mendini I notice more weight/pressure from the fingers is required on the keys below G to get a fairly satisfactory sound. That could be a deal breaker. I can't recall how soon after purchase I noticed that issue, but I'd guess less time than the...
