Bought this set for my 1 year old daughter. She really enjoys the xylophone, wave drum and rattle roller. Compared to other kids' xylophones, this one sounds much better: a nice clear sound and in tune. The wave drum has beads inside that gives it a snare drum effect when tapping it, and the beads make a nice sound when shaken. The beads and back of the drum appear to have been given a slight magnetic treatment to help keep some of the beads towards the center of the drum even when it's not perfectly level, helping to maintain the snare drum effect -- I like this attention to detail. So far the set is holding up perfectly despite some rough treatment, including my daughter throwing the xylophone out of her crib and standing on the wave drum.

The pictures in the product listing are misleading since they show the instruments at different scales: the xylophone and wave drum are much larger than the other three.

Also, for those that try to avoid Chinese-made products, this set is made in Israel. I don't know if Hohner's other products are made there too.

I purchased this for my 2 year old grandson. He absolutely adores it. It actually keeps him occupied off and on for hours and he is one active toddler. The noisier the better. Of course moms won't like the noise, however it is a good trade off if you have a toddler that is alwlays into things. Tyler loves the rattle toy. The drum is a bit muffled, however, the rest of the instruments make up for it. I would purchase this again.

My 12-month old loves this product, particularly the xylophone and the drum. The rattles are great and easy to hold too. A great little set!
