Mine also sounds like a choir of drunken monkeys, and it's going back to the seller. I wonder if it's a defective batch? But more likely they all sound like this.

You sound like a freaking tool! Get to the point, i lost interest in your so called review after the 50th umm. Also, you sound like a stuck up prick with your "we dont have this in our house".

Thanks for posting this! I was ready to purchase it for my grandson, but your video saved me (and him, and his parents!). We're a musical family, and we want him to love music too, but this is repulsive. I agree that when there is the possibility for higher quality digital sound there is no excuse for pawning this garbage off onto kids and families.

I suppose I'm to be considered a tone-deaf philestine. I think the music sounds lovely, even though the piano does sound like a harsichord and it's obvious the "French horn" and "violin" have been synthesized as well. (What was wrong with the flute and harp sounds, by the way?) My son saw this in the store and loved it instantly. I suppose a lack of appreciation for fine music is genetic.

An object should be judged according to its purpose. In this case, this is a toy designed to amuse babies and encourage the concept of cause and effect. It wasn't meant to replace the London Symphony Orchestra.

You made some good points in your review--such as the sound having a metallic ring to it. But the high-handed remarks (ie, "sound that would embarrass a monkey with a hurdy-gurdy" and "*we* don't want this in *our* house!") made it difficult for me to appreciate your position.

Your video review cracked me up! You are right that the sounds are not quite right. But I assumed that was an issue with all "baby music toys".

What amazed me - and maybe I'm easily impressed - is that no matter when you click to add an additional instrument, it starts playing in sync with the other instruments...I was thinking that was pretty good AI.
