4 out of 5 stars Great music set - could use better storage box   December 1, 2008
Mom of 2 (Southern Illinois)
We gave this to my DD for her 3rd bday. We graduated from the baby instruments that were a hand-me-down from her older brother. The kids love playing w/ this kit (my 6 1/2 yo old son too). The instruments seem very durable. They come w/ a wooden crate box which has no lid. If it had a lid, I would give this toy 5 stars.

I purchased this for my son, because the price was good for what I thought I'd get. However, upon opening the shipment, I could clearly see how damaged and used the items looked. I returned it for an exchange. The 2nd time I received the order, the items looked even worse! I didn't even have to open it. I returned for another exchange and Amazon never sent me anything. Nor, did they refund my money,even though an email from them indicated that another was on the way. I had to call and discover that they had made a mistake and had not intended to send me another and , oh yeah, because I'm calling, I can have my money back and start over again? What???????? The man on the phone could not have been nicer. However, what if I hadn't called about it? I had so many orders, I could have easily lost track and just gone by their confirmation email that all was fine. A little disappointing and now I'm looking for a better band set for my 16 month old.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent buy for a toddler!   November 16, 2008
Lisa M. Anderson (San Antonio, TX)
I bought this toy for my daughter for her second birthday. 5 months later she plays with her instruments every day!

The instruments are very good quality.. extremely durable.. and they have to be to survive the wrath of a 2 year old!

Highly recommended to anyone looking for instruments to buy for their toddler - they are so durable, sound realistic (they are realistic), and are excellent quality.. as Melissa & Doug items usually are.

One one thing I would like to note. My daughter could care less.. but, the instruments come in a wooden crate. And.. its exactly what it is.. a box. Would be nice if there were different compartments for the instruments to be in.. or a lid.. or cover.. or something to keep the instruments in the crate!

Overall, very satisfied and highly recommend this Melissa & Doug Band In A Box set!



4 out of 5 stars Good times had by all!   October 9, 2008
K. McDonald (Buffalo,NY)
My son just adores this toy! Since we are pretty tolerant people, the noise from a toy band doesn't bother us and the sounds coming from the toys sound like actual instruments, not cheap fakes.


1 out of 5 stars Not so durable   October 2, 2008

I gave this to my son for his 3rd birthday as he is interested in music and says he wants to play in a band, so I thought he'd enjoy this. He did enjoy it, but broke the tamberine within an hour. The material in the middle was so flimsy - almost like thick paper. It says on the box that this is appropriate for ages 3+. I admit my son can be rough on toys, but I know other three year-olds that are even rougher. This is a cute little set, but not sturdy enough for a three year-old. I think they should reword the recommended age on their package.
