4 out of 5 stars Excellent Skill Builder   September 1, 2008
Michele King (ohio)
Purchased for a childs 4th birthday. He and his frined love to play music and take turns sharing the instruments. Each one has their Debut as a soloist on the instrument of choice and have learned to incorporate voice as well. We highly recommend!


5 out of 5 stars This ROCKS!   August 7, 2008
V. Crayton (Washington, DC)
I bought this band in a box for my son because it was cheaper than buying plastic, loud versions of the instruments individually. I worried that my two-year-old would be bored with these, as there are no flashing lights or applause. But weeks later, he still goes for these toys first. His electronic maracas have been abandoned because these instruments are so much more fun!


5 out of 5 stars Fun for all kids!   July 19, 2008
Dawn Klep (Marietta, GA United States)
My son has special needs and is globally developmentally delayed and I bought this so I can play different music for him (I am pretty sure he gets sick of my singing! hehe). The instruments are very cute and pretty well built. The little cymbal handles were loose and I had to jimmy them, but it was easy I just put a washer to stabilize it. My niece who is typical and healthy also enjoys playing with these instruments.


5 out of 5 stars Sturdy and Enjoyable   July 9, 2008

This set is great to use with my elementary school students in a small class. They are well made with decent sounds. I have previously purchased some of these items separately from other manufacturers which cost more with similar quality. My students like to use these especially for different sound effects during a puppet show or skit in class.


5 out of 5 stars Wonderful toy   May 20, 2008
Noga Rosenthal (New York, New York)
I bought this for my one year old. He loves making noise and this was the perfect gift. He's too young for the triangle but appreciates everything else. This comes in a cute wooden box where you can try to keep everything neat. I recommend this as a gift. - Noga Rosenthal
