Soundboard Magazine:
"Jon Mendle's eleven-string guitar presented new sonic possibilities not available to the modern classical guitar."
"Each piece seemed to demonstrate Mendle's gift for drawing musical colors from his instrument"
"The highlight of Mendle’s program was his performance of the Mertz. Mertz had originally written the work for ten-string guitar, and with the bass notes restored as Mertz had first imagined, the work felt more complete as a result of the fuller sound. Hearing the Mertz in this way left me no desire to hear it otherwise."
Albert R Diaz, review of solo performance at the 2014 GFA Convention
"This is a beautiful disc…Mendle’s playing is a wonder.”
Al Kunze, review of L'infidele
Acoustic Guitar Magazine:
"Mendle gives a thoughtfully nuanced performance of l8th-century German lutenist and composer Adam Falckenhagen's Sonata IV Op. I, pairing rich bass notes with a singing melody and remarkable expressiveness in his ornamentation."
"...Mendle plays with confident artistry."
Julia Crowe, review of L'infidele

Daily Republic Newspaper:
"Mendle is already a complete musician; his precision and clear, often ringing tones conveying, in turns, nobility, lilting
gaiety, yearning, introspection, and finally, joy."
Kathleen Whalen, review of performance with Solano Community Symphony of Mauro Giuliani's Guitar Concerto Op 36

"Look for more great things to come from this brilliant emerging artist..."
