3.0 out of 5 stars Not for me or my child, November 25, 2003

This is definitely inferior to the Sparkiling Syphony Stacker it replaces. I thought I was buying the Sparkling Sympnony, but when I got it I was so disappointed! The songs are much shorter, encouraging the modern problem of short attention span in children. The musical selections aren't as good/interesting: some classical melodies have been replaced with nursery rhyme tunes found on every other baby toy. Yes, the melodies are cut off strangely. The "ta-da" sound is obnoxious - I really miss the twinkling, fairy-like sound of the other. It was so much softer and nicer for baby's ears.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Improvement on an old classic!, October 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: CLASSICAL Stacker (Toy)

I had this classic toy w/o lights and music when I was a little girl and loved it! When I saw the "Sparkling Symphony" version before my baby was born I really wanted to get it, but held out until he was older. Now there is this new "Classical Chorus" version. This stacker is similar to the older but much more improved. It still plays 3 classical tunes and now 2 "up-beat" tunes. When the lights go off it appears that the star is singing to the music--so cute! When you push the star it makes a "Ta-Da!" noise letting the child know "you did it!". I am so glad that I held out and ended up finding this one! It was an instant hit with my little boy and it is educational too! Great job Fisher Price! I am buying this as a gift for a friends's little guy turning 1 year old this weekend. I am so excited because I know he will be thrilled when he opens it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as nice as the Sparkling Symohony Stacker, June 6, 2003

The Sparkling Symphony Stacker played very nice musical selections and had a nice sparkly effect when you hit the top. Now, the star sings "Da-Da-Da-Da" every time you hit it, and it's annoying. Plus, the musical selections that are played are shorter than the selections played by the sparkling symphony stacker, and the way they cut the music is very odd.

You're kid will probably like it, but you will quickly get annoyed by it. My 18 month old still loves his Sparkling Symphony Stacker and I still enjoying listening to it when he plays it. I think Fisher Price made a mistake with this new version.
