PLEASE NOTE - THERE WAS AN ERROR WITH THE AMAZON WEBSITE WHICH WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO CLICK ON THE STAR RATINGS. I HAD INTENDED TO GIVE THIS ITEM A FULL 5-STAR REVIEW BUT WAS UNABLE TO. READ ON! I bought this for my daughter last Christmas and have not had a single regret. I had hoped to get her interested in eventually learning to play a celtic harp and this seemed like a simple first step. I purchased extra music sheets to add to what it came with and, even at 5 years old, she has really gotten the hang of making pretty music with it. It is one of the few toys she doesn't forget about- it is out on a regular basis and is simple enough for her to use. I've had to tune it at least a couple of times but I would think that it is to be expected especially when less than gentle hands play with it often! It is a beautiful piece, well-crafted and simple. I can't think of a single reason to hesitate if you are considering this instrument.

My daughter is four and recieved this as a gift from her grandparents. It is sturdy and a perfect starter instrument. She was playing in one afternoon. We plan on putting her in piano in a year and I think this is a chance for her to ease into the process. She gets to look at the "sheet of music" and begins to understands that the circles coorispond with notes to be played. She enjoys the feeling of accomplishment and we enjoy listening.

What a glorious instrument! This is so beautifully crafted and the sheet music is wonderful.. We bought it as a gift for our 9 year old and, truth be told, the teenagers and the adults love it too!!! I've since ordered additional music packs and they're great too. Skip the cheap ones that are on the market and buy this one.
