 Good Quality Fun October 3, 2002

These instruments are durable and of good quality. I don't worry about my kids banging on them as hard as they want. They make beautiful music. The kids have so much fun playing with them. They are real instruments, not plastic imitations that don't sound quite right. This was a purchase I don't regret.

My daughter got this for her 1st birthday last year and these musical instruments are well made. I don't let my daughter play unattended with the triangle and it's metal stick in fear she might run with it, but other than that this is a nice set. My brother's son did break the Spanish shaker by hitting too hard . So, if you get this as a gift just watch your child, as you'd do with other toys and you shouldn't have any major problems.
Good but not great November 29, 2003

I bought this for my almost 2 year old when he was just 18 months. He uses it nearly every day. I play CDs while we are playing with his toys and he likes to go over to the box and play along with different instruments. Sometimes we make a little marching band around the living room.
Like other reviewers, we had a problem with the tambourine almost immediately, but I taped the entire top with packing tape and it is fine. We have had no problem with the shakers even though he likes to knock them together and on other things. And they are plenty loud! The only thing we don't like is the triangle. The string comes off constantly and is hard for him to hold - not heavy just a problem because of the string - but he likes to bang it while I hold it. This is not high quality, but makes a nice first introduction to musical instruments.
A fun introduction to instruments and music-making! January 7, 2003

My 18 month old little girl LOVES these instruments! We bang and shake them in concert and try to keep a beat. All the instruments are well-made and durable except for the tamborine. The flimsy paper easily punctured and ripped - probably not a good choice of material for an instrument that is made to be used by little folks. Otherwise, this is a fun kit for young ones to experience the joys of sound and music.

This is the best looking music set for young children I have seen. My three yr. old loves all the instruments, but her favorite is the triangle. We keep them in the box they came in. It's nice to buy a product and be able to also use the packaging it came in. None of our instruments are falling apart...they all look as good as the day we got them. Melissa & Doug is a great company with a lot of good, sturdy products for children. My daughter has enjoyed everything we've bought her from them, and I love that they are all well made and durable.
