3.0 out of 5 stars There are better xylopones, May 20, 2002

Our daughter has three xylophones (don't asky why) and this one has the poorest sound quality of the three (granted one is a nice wooden xylophone). The sound is very tingy and the notes do not sustain very long after impact. The hammer is very light and bends easily.

If you want a cheap xylophone for your child, I would recommend the "2-in-1 Crocodile Keys Musical Instrument" by Fisher Price. We have one of these and our daughter loves it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Toy that will be enjoyed for years, November 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Little Tikes Tap A Tune Xylophone (Toy)

I can honestly say my son has been playing with this toy for 3 years. Many of the toys he got as a baby have been packed away but not this one. I love the fact that the stricker is attached with the string so it won't get lost. A bonus is if you turn it upside down there are ridges which make a great sound when the stricker is rubbed across them. I do wish the string was longer, so it could be played from either side and if it was attached at the end it could be used to pull the toy instead of using the handle. We lost the cards with the songs on them almost right away and I found them hard to use so we never really used them. But this toy was great anyway and I would highly reccommend it.

This is a nice size product for a small child. I bought it for my 18 month old and she really likes it. It is smaller than the other brands but it has more notes than most. The hammer to strike the notes is attached so you dont have to look for it. and it has a handle so it can be carried from room to room which is what my daught does all the time I think itis a good buy
