I bought this as a gift as my children have this as well. Both of my children love this gift and play with it often. Age 3 and 2. Very good quality as well.

Great little music box! Love that the triangle is real and authentic sounding and the tambourine is very fun. The best possible thing about this set (all overwhelmed and overstimulated mums please stand up) is that none of the instruments are TOO loud, in fact they are at a decibel where I don’t want to scream in misery from so much noise. Well done Melissa and Doug! Our toddler has been non stop playing with these since they arrived.

Love this product. It’s great for toddlers who love instruments and music. Never knew the quality would be so good. No regrets!

These are a basic set of music tinker toys that are actually not as loud as I would have even hoped. Can’t believe Im saying that but I guess I expected more noise when I purchased noisy toys? :) Anyways, sometimes it’s a good thing. The wooden zipper sounding instrument only has about four ridges to slide the stick across and the rattles are pretty light shakers. The set it good quality though! I use it for my 18 month old’s “Music class” (I find a good free you tube music class and we play along). It is loved in our home!

Really bad. Makes no proper sound, let alone music. Totally regret buying this.

Splendido set musicale, è quello che stavo cercando. Mio figlio lo adora!! Il set corrisponde alla descrizione, è in legno colorato e di ottima fattura. Utilissima la cassetta per riordinare gli strumenti. Lo consiglio anche come regalo perché fa la sua figura

Got these for my toddler granddaughter. She has lots of toys, and I am so happy to report that these are her all-time favorite toys! She walks around with at least one of them in her hands all the time. And we also got her a new trike that has a “truck” which she constantly puts these instruments in. Although it does bother her a little that the triangle doesn’t quite fit. It’s hilarious to watch her try to make it do it. And when she has the triangle in her hand, she always has the wind and the other hand – – she knows they go together!Got these for my toddler granddaughter.

Es ideal para los niños, lis materiales son buenos y suenan bastante bien para ser de juguete. Los uso con mi hija de año y medio pero bajo supervision, se los saco en momentos concretos y tocamos las dos los instrumentos luego los guardo porque es muy pequeña todavía, pero le encantan las maracas. Conociendi el producto creo que para bebés de esta edad es mejor unas maracas de plástico, mas ligeras y que no se descarcarillen cuando las tiran sl suelo o se les caen. Los platillos muy bien, los toca ella solita y la pandereta también.

We got this from Amazon for a song during the Chistmas season on one of their big sale days. It was worth two times what we paid for it!!It has been a huge hit with both our children - a boy, aged 18 months (for whom it was bought) and a girl, nearly 3 years old. The triangle is hands-down the favorite instrument. We have had multiple "concerts" since then (of course, the grandparents think that's adorable).To those who are offended by noisy toys - don't buy this set. They are instruments intended for toddlers and preschoolers. Of COURSE they are going to be noisy. Cymbals, tambourine, triangle, maracas, clacker - YES, it's makes for a lot of noise. But that's the whole point!!Also, for those demanding high-quality instruments that produce concert hall sound, don't buy this set. Again, I reiterate that this set is intended for the very young and musically interested. It is great fun. And it is perfect as a starter set. I see my children using it for some time. We have a plastic set of similar instruments from last Christmas that will now be retired as this has taken its place.My only gripe is that the string for the triangle slips off very easily and can be lost. That, of course, adversely affects how the instrument can be played as well as its sound. But otherwise, A+ in our household on all levels.

I have used these instruments for several years, both for my own children and for a small preschool that I run out of the home. The kids like the colors, the sounds, and the variety. With the amount of use they get, they do wear out, but hold up well enough that I have bought the same set twice.When we learn about music in preschool, I start by telling the children the names of the instruments and how to properly make the sound. I then cover them with a towel or blanket and make the sound underneath it, and the kids guess which instrument I used. If they name it properly, I hand them the instrument and we go on until everyone has one. Another game is to have them cover their eyes, then I play a few instruments in sequence, then have them open their eyes and try to repeat the sequence. We go from there to more active playing and dancing with the instruments, we talk about playing soft and loud, fast and slow, and I let them take turns calling the shots for everyone while marching around the room. They also enjoy playing free form, where anything goes and they can dance and play however they like (as long as they aren't being destructive, of course). For some fun toddler/preschool songs to play in conjunction with these instruments, my kids enjoy Greg and Steve's music, particularly the freeze song from their 'Kids in Motion' album.As mentioned by other reviewers, the tambourine is always the first to go. The wooden part is fine, but the cover tears. I've reinforced the bottom of it with a circle of tag board and decorated the top with thin, colorful paper to make them last longer. If all else fails, I just take the cover off completely and the kids still enjoy using the circle part, which has yet to break.The second most common problem is that the black elastic on the clapper will wear out with time and usage. That is an easy fix. I just snip a hair tie, thread it through, and tie it on tightly. The wooden portion is still strong, and I just replace the hair tie as needed.After seven years, my first pair of maracas has finally succumbed to the toddlers continually smacking them together (which I discourage in favor of shaking), and the handle has come off of the cymbals. I am back to buy a third set.For normal home usage, this set will probably last quite a while. Encourage your child to shake the maracas, tap the tambourine (not slap or punch), and they will be able to get quite a bit of mileage out of these instruments.
