Is it easy to blow through it and make it sound or is it like Mendini clarinet that it is very difficult to make it sound?

I am not a clarinet expert. However, this clarinet plays nicely. I think it also depends on the strength of the reed you are using (they are numbered as to thickness) as well as the placement of the reed on the mouthpiece. I am not familiar with the Mendini clarinet.

For its price it is a very good clarinet and the sound is very pleasant... it is not a real wood instrument and cannot compete with these but is still very good !

It has been working perfectly for my son for band class. His teacher even said it sounds the way a clarinet should.

Depending on the adjustment of air it might sound a little. The more you open the adjusment the more it sounds.

it is a little hard to blow...i would suggest an irish or a tin whistle. same fingering and easy to play. try a high d whistle. a clark at amazon is around ten dollars, a feadog by clark isn't very loud and good for learning.

It's not that loud. Probably more comparable to an acoustic guitar and much quieter than a trumpet or saxophone.

Actually it is not that loud. The best description is a little louder than a blow dryer and not as loud as a leaf blower. I use it in my house. Hope this helps

If you bite on the thing as you blow on it, it opens the hole inside so it's easier to do. Have fun, my baby loves hers!

It sounds fine without being plugged in. I suggest you change the strings. That will improve the sound immensely. I prefer D'Addario, but you could use any brand you prefer. It does not have the same sound as a better quality wood uke, however it is great for travel, very durable, and you don't have to worry about humidifying it.

I don't think it's all that loud but if you blow hard on it I guess it could be. It's just a basic cheap plastic whistle.

I seriously doubt it. My daughter's in 5th and she could never get a consistent sound out of it. She got dizzy and light headed everytime she used it. I asked her music teacher about it and she said that it's that particular brand that doesn't blow well. I wouldn't recommend you buy any instrument from Mendini. Hope this helps.

The Clarinet is made of Ebonite. I don't know what that is, but it is a beautiful Clarinet.

Ebonite plastic, like a bowling ball. Wood is far more expensive, and warps far more likely, making the sound quality of the instrument unpredictable. But the other commenter is correct: it's a gorgeous clarinet for the price.

When it is being played, it sounds no louder than someone drumming on a cushin, maybe a little louder. When you play, though, you have to listen to what you are playing through headphones. I wish it were louder for the player. Better headphones or an external amp may help. I hope this helps answer your question.

We had similar problems with this clarinet. The sound quality was poor. It may not be you but rather the clarinet. It is just an entry level clarinet as the price would suggest.

It is not to loud. The thing is when too much salt is put in it--that is when it is loudest. It is a dull but not soft and not loud loud noise. Hope that helps some. It is medium loudness. I have filled it with water and slept with no problem when I have had bronchitis or colds. That is my experience with it.

You need to blow so that your air stream is split above and below the opposite side of the opening. Make a kissing face on the opening and roll it under you bottom lip, the blow across the opening. My fife was poorly constructed, so it was difficult even though I knew the concept, it is possible yours is like that as well. I'd recommend the Yamaha fife, it has findings like a recorder, but is very easy to get a good tune from. Only like 8$

Yes, you would blow into it like a real instrument. But easy enough for a child to play, since my 3 year olds don't have an issue making sound. And not too loud either.
