This is obviously a flimsy plastic toy, not a real thing. But my 7 year old son has been fascinated by it and has been playing it all the time. He takes it to school and asks his music teacher to help him learn new tunes. He accidentally broke the first clarinet, and I bought another one since he loves it so much. He refuses to play on a recorder, the real clarinet is something too hard for him at the moment. This is his absolutely favorite toy.By the way, he asked for a trumpet first, but got eventually disappointed, since the trumpet toy has only 4 keys and one is limited in what kind of tunes he can play on it. The clarinet has 8 and it is great.

My younger son wanted a clarinet to play like his older brother. This is perfect!! He loves to play it and I love that his passion for music has started at the young age of 4. Well made, great product!

子供のクリスマスプレゼントに購入。箱が潰れ、擦り切れ、貼られたセロテープは黄ばんでいました。箱の潰れを直すためか、中にはエアークッションが詰め込まれ商品がよく見えません。プレゼントでなければまだしも、ひどい状態で本当にがっかりです。商品説明欄に箱に難ありと書いて欲しいです。

The tuning was pretty good for being a plastic toy, which allowed me to use this with my 4 year old goddaughter to start playing some songs. If anyone would like some simple sheet music color coded for this instrument, I created some and you can find it here: [...]I'm a piano teacher and use this as one way to assess young children to see if they might be ready for piano lessons. Your child should be able to independently read the colored "notes" to the song and play them in the correct order and should be willing to play songs through 2-3 times in a row to "practice." This is a great demonstration of cognitive ability, attention span, fine motor skills, left and right coordination, and musical interest that are all needed in piano playing. If they are unable to complete this with the children's clarinet, it is very unlikely that piano lessons will be successful.

This is a nice music toy, but it's far from perfect – especially for a three year old (or younger). I'd actually recommend just getting a recorder, which is cheaper and simpler to play.First of all, this toy only makes sound when a button is pressed. So your kid not only has to get the hang of how to blow in it, but they have to have the dexterity to hold a button down at the same time. It would be better if it were more like a recorder (or a real clarinet) which make noise just by blowing, then the buttons/notes can be explored later. I see why this would be difficult given the current design, but it's something for parents to note.Second, the hole you have to blow in is awkwardly placed for a tiny kid's mouth. It's located about a half-inch from the very end of the mouthpiece, so they have to put the whole end of the instrument in their mouth. The hole is also on an angled surface. It would be much better if there were just a hole at the very tip of the mouthpiece (like a recorder or real clarinet.)These two issues combined make it pretty tough for a very little kid to play. I'd wait if you're on the fence about whether or not your kid is ready for it, and maybe just get a simple recorder instead.Otherwise, it seems pretty sturdy overall (though the buttons are pretty flimsy), and once a kid got the hang of it, you can play actual music (I was playing Jingle Bells in about a minute.) It sort of sounds like a kazoo, by the way.

We bought the along with this clarinet for my 3 year-old daughter's best friend who absolutely loves it. His 7-year old sister isn't so thrilled because he plays it every waking minute. Fortunately it sounds pretty good for an inexpensive toy so her objection is probably because he's so blissfully happy and what big sibling wants that?? We bought two of these instruments so the little ones could have their own band but we've found big sister playing sometimes too. Busted!Seriously, though, the kids really have fun with it and we hope it fosters a life-long love of music. Cliche? Maybe. But that doesn't mean it can't be true.

My 4 year old LOVES music - particularly making music - however, he is definitely hard on his toys and by Day Two the keys were already falling off this thing.Was a bit pricey to be falling apart after a few days of play.Totally disappointed in the quality of musical instruments available for young learners.

My daughter was so excited to get this clarinet. She is in 1st grade and very interested in playing an instrument. After learning a few of the songs on the box she did a little recital for us and during it, one of the keys broke in half. Once one key is broken, the clarinet is useless. Granted, she was struggling a bit and perhaps applying a lot of pressure, but this clarinet is not durable AT ALL. I wasn't expecting much due to the price but I've purchased other plastic toys in this price range that lasted much much longer. I would have liked it to last more than a week. Ridiculous.
