4.0 out of 5 stars nice but not excellent, December 19, 2009

WARNING: This review was made when the toy was about twenty bucks. I noticed today that it's listed for more than sixty. No way is this worth that much.
-------------

Pros:
- plays a nice tune when it's pulled
- colorful metal notes
- soft edges everywhere
- tones are pleasant
- seems pretty durable so far

Cons:
- string on the wand is laughably short (so much so that you can't actually use the wand on some of the notes)
- metal notes are just a little too narrow because of the plastic knobs holding them in place; forces the player to be pretty accurate in their aim to get a clear tone, and a toddler just isn't

Find a heavy shoelace and lengthen the string by several inches. If you're worried this would be a strangulation hazard, then plan to either take the wand off entirely, or have a frustrated child whenever the wand jerks short when they try to use it to hit the notes.

My daughter loves this toy - it sounds a tune when she pulls it and she loves to make her own music. One thing I would have liked is for the pull cord to be longer. No bells and whistles, just an old fashioned toy that still brings joy to the little ones!

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun 'old-school' toy, November 9, 2010

The toy was shipped well, arrived undamaged and on time. We did not realize that it plays music when it rolls which is nice. The only issue that prevented it from recieving 5 stars is that we feel the cord holding the stick is too short. If the cord was only 4 to 6 inches longer it would be easier for the child to use.
