Anyone who can do a follow the dots--in this case, notes--can play this instrument. Slide one of the cards underneath the strings and pluck or pick where the notes lead. My son loved this when he was little, and my students love it now. Anyone will be instantly successful and be able to play recognizable tunes. It also has a very light, pleasant sound so you won't get a headache no matter how much it's played. It's also very well made; it can withstand small, enthusiastic musicians. It's the perfect first instrument which can lead to a real love of music, and maybe more instruments later. I highly recommend it.

The box says that the instrument comes tuned for immediate enjoyment. It did not and I am still trying to get it tuned. Because two notes share one string (the strings on the harp are looped), it is hard to tune it. You can fix one of the notes and mess up the other one. There are no instructions on how to tune one note without "untuning" the other one. You can purchase a brochure on tuning for $5 plus $8 shipping, but that should have come with the instrument.

High quality instrument, very rarely needs tuning, and you can start plucking away at something recognizable imediatly. What more could you want for a beginning instrument?

everything came as promised. delivery was very prompt. would gladly order from this seller again. thank you

Got this for our 4 year old, and he loved it! Easy to follow while learning about music. Took a few tries (4 years old), but he is improving with each use and is loving the music he "creates"!
