Glockenspiel Xylophone for Kids, Professional Percussion Instrument with Hard Case and Safe Mallets, for Student Beginners, Music Teaching and Gifts (Red)

The notes are perfect. I bought this for my grand daughter and had to use smaller sticks but she loves it.

I have a variety of musical instruments to encourage music play along while singing songs along watching videos. Never to early to start. Excellent for toddlers.

Fun to use

The tuning is very good! That was my main purpose, to find the exact pitch for chanting vowel sounds. You will see in my photo that I made my own chart. This has worked great. My granddaughter played with it and sounded wonderful, and she doesn't know how to play! You can play it softly or louder, but the sound is never is never irritating.

This xylophone is clearly designed for use by children. It only has 25 notes and is housed in a brightly colored plastic case. It is attached to this case, so you have to play it just as you see in the photos. Plan to dedicate a little extra space for the lid!The keys are embossed with their notes and are color coded. Most of the keys sound really good, but there are a couple that sounded a little off. The strikers that come with the instrument are plastic, but they have a good weight and work fine.The case latch is a little finicky. It takes a bit of effort to get the lid open, but at least it doesn't fall open on its own!Overall, this is a fun little xylophone for kids, beginners or anyone who just wants to play. But this is certainly not a professional instrument.

The media could not be loaded.

The sound on the xylophone is really nice and smooth, and my kids ages nine and seven have enjoyed playing it. The carrying case is bonus as well. However, my oldest child removed some of the pins that hold the metal plates in place and they are very sharp. So unfortunately, they are not glued or riveted in place and will come apart. So be careful when using this around kids that tend to be more curious or like to disassemble things! Definitely gave us a scare!

Have "played" glockenspiels my whole, long life, but must admit, 99.99% were made for children use. Everyone knows the type, thin metal, tinny sounding, but mostly just obnoxious. Still, they were all fun, at least for the person using them.This glockenspiel (love typing that word, bet I haven't ever typed it before in my life) is an improvement over any of those I've dinked with before. No one is going to confuse it with a professional instrument, but we aren't spending that kind of money. It sounds better, has a nice (still not very useful) range of notes, and comes with a case that makes it easy to store and carry around. No troubles for me or my granddaughter to open or shut the case.Mallets seem to be just the right hardness. As far as the notes being correctly tuned, well, you will have to ask someone else about that, I am unable to discern any problems. I just feel good about not hitting wrong notes, well, more accurately, hitting the notes I want. With that in mind, I wish the keys (if that is what they are called), were twice as wide!Would make a nice gift for any young child, certainly a step up over most children's glockenspiels. And now I am probably done typing glockenspiel, doubt I ever have need of doing so again. Makes me a little sad.
