Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Plan Toy Percussion Set has brought together a beautifully crafted collection of instruments that are pleasant to hear, and also to see. Experienced individually, each of the four brightly colored, bent wood spherical instruments makes a different, rhythmic and earthy sound celebrating a distinctly Latin flair. Together, they make a lovely display on the included stand. The set includes a guiro, tambourine, castanet and a maraca. Music appreciation begins here and now. There's a musician in all of us just waiting to be heard. It is great for fun and for development of fine motor skills, auditory skills and imagination, each instrument is crafted in the traditional Plan Toy manner, using recycled rubber wood and colored dyes.

Product Description

I got this for my kids for christmas. They all love it (ages 5.5, 3.5, and 18 months). This is very durable and great. The sound is pretty and it isn't like the other annoying musical instruments. The natural materials make the sound softer. I love it and so do my kids. The rack idea wasn't the brightest idea. Don't get this thinking you're going to use the rack, because it just doesn't work. We have a cute basket where we put this and the plan toys xylophone and solid drum in as well. All wonderful products!!

Our family has purchased many Plan Toys items and have, in the past, been very happy. Among the favorites in our house are the Doll Family (a true bargain), the Dancing Alligator and the Pull-along Snail.

However, this set of "Instruments" is severely lacking. In total what you have are four large baby rattles and a stick. The sound quality is poor, the variety is minimal and I truly believe that they paint the mallet holder black in an effort to convince consumers that it is the end of instrument-- like the large black head of a drumstick. It is not. It's a black painted mallet holder. The mallet itself is nothing more than a brown stick.

Ironically, the holder, the item most complained about on this site, seems to work just fine.

Not only would we absolutely NOT buy this item again, we're sending it back. $[...] is a true rip-off for this toy. So many better things out there to spend your money on.

Bought this for a toddler in a very musical family. Liked the appearance as seen on the website and the natural material used. Unfortunately, the pieces are rather flimsy when you try to set them up in the holder. They kept falling out and the rack kept falling over. I just wish it had all been a little bigger and sturdier.
