this toy came broken where the mouthpiece part goes was all cracked - very cheap plastic toy - would not recommend. Also think the trumpet is just as junky. One of the keys does not work and is very cheap plastic. Very dissappointed.

I have to start off by admitting that I personally have not been exposed to this toy instrument. I purchased, as a Christmas gift, for my 4 year old nephew, whom lives far across the country from me. I can only recount and report as to the reactions I received.

First of note, is that it was the most unexpected gift he had received for the holiday. Many people were very surprised to find a toy that was educational and fun, and not of the typical child 'fad' toy that they so often get. And yet, he loved it. He carried it around all morning, tooting away to the beat. The second thought was that it was yet another annoyingly loud toy (the kind that go off in the middle of the night). However, I am told that it was not as loud as they had expected, and actually surprisingly pleasant. The tunes were enjoyable and still easy enough for the children to play. Overall, I am told it was a great gift and the children had a great time playing it.

I am told that the product seemed, at first, to be a lightweight plastic and they were worried it would break. Although, upon using it, they discovered it was more durable than anticipated. I have not heard about and functional problems or damage as of yet, after much use.

I might rate this toy higher, however, I personally have not been exposed to it and would not be comfortable doing so. Though I believe, for what it is, a 4 star rating is quite sufficient.

As for the company I purchased this from, I will individually rate them elsewhere.

I will follow up with more information as I receive it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great instrument if it wouldn't break!, January 24, 2010

My 4 year old son adores this instrument and has taught himself how to play a few songs on it. Problem is, we're on our third one. The keys pop off and break very easily. I have looked everywhere for a similar though sturdier instrument and apparently there isn't one. So I guess we'll have to keep buying these things until he's old enough for a real sax. If your child is really interested in playing the sax, then this is a good toy but if he/she has a more general interest in music and instruments, I would look elsewhere.
