Customer Reviews

Please find another xylophone!
This xylophone is adorable but that's about all it has going for it. I received it in the mail today and decided to send it back within 2 minutes. The tones (and that is being generous) are just terrible. I couldn't play any recognizable tune with them at all. If you're child is into banging, try a drum or another xylophone. The Tap a Tune Xylophone by Little Tykes gets fairly good reviews and is less expensive. I wanted this one for my son because it has the look of a classic toy but that really doesn't matter if doesn't have proper tones.

Plunk, plunk...plunk, plunk...OY!
I love the look of this xylophone--the colors are vibrant; the shape is cute. But the sound quality of the keys is horrible. First of all, the keys are wooden not metal like most xylophones--which is okay, but the product doesn't mention this and the picture is a little misleading. The red key and the orange key sound the same,and the other three make hollow, plunky sounds. Instead, I recommend the Grover 8 Note Children's Xylophone (www.giardinelli.com) if you like metal keys and the 8 Note Wooden Children's Xylophone (www.grothmusic.com) if you prefer wooden keys. Both are beautiful and cost the same, if not a few dollars less...

Fun toy
This toy is a safe, less annoying alternative to the plastic and metal< made in china, ones found in big-box marts.

I like the wooden "keys" and the softer tones they have...as for not being "tuned" as another reviewer was upset about, I don't know any baby/toddler who will do anything but bang on it anyway...at least this doesn't give me a headache. Plus if my 13 mo old chews on it I don't have to worry about lead paint!
