Just Awesome! BUT watch out for Xlyphone stick (UPDATED 2008) Oct 18, 2005
By ThreePeas
My mom bought this for my son at 18 months and he LOVES it. The entire set is excellent quality and comes in a nice wooden crate (we use the crate for arts & crafts). My son is now a very accomplished Harmonica & flute player (he's now only 19 months) - he can't get enough of these instruments. One thing to look out for though -- the tip of the stick that you use for the xlyphone came off and I found my son eating it - it is definitely a choking hazard - I just took the stick away and tossed it in the garbage and he uses one of the other thick wooden sticks to play the xylophone and he hasn't missed a beat!
****UPDATE**** 5/8/08
It is now almost 3 years later and my son still plays with all of the instruments in this set. Looking back at all the toys we bought or he received as gifts, this is still one of his favorites and has helped foster his interest in music. I STILL highly recommend this set!!

 Good product for a 2-year old Jul 25, 2006
By Books 'n Beagles
I bought this for my 4-year old daughter's birthday because she really wanted a xylophone and this is the only one that I could find! The xylophone is, by far, the worst instrument in the whole set. The notes are way off tune and the sound is muffled.
Her favorite piece is the harmonica, which is pretty nice. The rest of the instruments are okay, but avoid this product of you are looking for a nice xylophone.

 Excellent!!! Dec 15, 2005
By Megan Romer
Talk about bang for your buck! 17 high-quality instruments for only 30 dollars? It doesn't get much better than this!
Modern toys are often "noisy".... they beep, they buzz, they play stupid songs and they provide little educational value. This great instrument set will provide kids with the "noise-making" that they crave, but with the educational value of actually making the noise on real instruments!
Parents, too, will have a hard time resisting the allure of these super-fun instruments. Your kids will be dingin' away on the triangle while you shake your thing with the maracas.... it'll provide interactive and fun play for years! Get some good CDs to accompany this set, while you're at it. A fun African CD (like Amadou and Mariam's "Dimanche a Bamako") will do the trick nicely, as most of these instruments are rhythm instruments that will fit in nicely with that highly rhythmic music.

Loving This! Nov 29, 2005
By Anonymous
This musical set was originally intended as a Christmas purchase, but I could not resist giving this as an early present. When it arrived in the mail, we opened it immediatly. I was pleasantly surprised with both the quality and quantity represented in this set. We are already having such a great time using these instruments! The kazoo is a favorite! With so much variety to choose from, our little dancer may never stop playing. I love the quality workmanship and the cultural span of the various instruments. Our 2-year-old loves marching in "parades", dancing and singing to the beat of favorite songs. This colorful set inspires get-up-and-dance energy for both adult and child! I am one very satisfied customer.

 Disappointing in general Dec 29, 2007
By Trish L.
My son suggested that I buy this for my 2 3/4 year old granddaughter for Christmas. I was very disappointed with it. The xylophone, which really ought to be the main music maker was awful. It should have been made of metal and should have been capable of playing a scale (the key of C Major). But then the recorder was terrible too. You can't play a tune on it either. The little plastic recorders for around $4 or $5 that the kids in elementary school use can at least make music. This can't. And the kazoo broke. The other parts were fine. Percussion is percussion. If it were my choice, I would return it. My son seems to think it's satisfactory - "good enough for a 2 year old." I don't agree. Had I seen it first, I wouldn't have bought it.
