Be Careful Handling Parts

I bought this for my niece. I helped her build it, but before I had the proper chance to jump in and help, some pieces were snapped in 2. I'm not upset because it still turned out okay. We used some tape to keep them together. One review mentioned that they are sturdy. They usually are on all of the other pieces, but that's no reason to not be careful. Be extremely careful where you place your pieces during assembly. One thing I wish they did was make a few extra spares, especially for the wooden pieces that hold the musical note picks because that's one of the things that got knocked in two. My major point is to be there to help the kids you buy this for because things could get broken.

Regardless of my nitpicks, this is a great product for learning some basics of percussion. My niece loves it!

Really great gift for a craft- and music-loving kid!

This was a relatively easy (but not too easy) to assemble gift for my daughter. She's only 6, and I did have to help some, but she found this not too difficult and she enjoyed putting it together and she has loved playing with it, and experimenting with the pins to make new songs. It's sturdy and exactly as advertised, so I think it was very worth the money. I do think you'd have to be at least 8, possibly even older, to be able to assemble on your own, but if a parent can help, this is a good gift for younger kids too.

Great teaching instrument and you get extra rubber bands worry not!

The media could not be loaded.

Bought this for Christmas, got the kids together, penned the dog in (lots of small swallowable parts guys) and put this machine together. The instructions are great, you get extra rubber bands and boy do you need them, the tiny bands are worse than Jesus clips. The instructions come with music so you can play right off the bat. I'd say that the pegs need more effort to get out than the particle board can withstand. We used sandpaper to make the pegs a little easier to get out. So overall a great teambuilding exercise, mechanically challenging for the age it's made for, but not very sturdy. I will be getting more of these kits for the kids.

Quite a few pieces for my 8 yo to muck through; however, the instructions and part identifications are quite clear and made this a fun project. Not the greatest music box, but serviceable and is a good educational tool

Excellent teaching about instrument making

It's a beautiful little creation. They did a great job with the pieces and assembly. It plays a little weakly of course and unevenly but it does give the idea which is very cool. My son understood exactly how and why it makes sounds. You must be pretty delicate with the pieces.

So cool!

Wow, I can’t say enough about this kit! Me and my son had SO much fun building this set and he has shown it off to all of his friends. It was part of a homeschool lesson, but I ended up buying several other kits just for fun. There is no glue, everything is held together by rubber bands so once you build it, there is no waiting to use it! It actually plays the songs very clearly, we started with jingle bells, but there are several other choices of songs, as well as how to make your own. The directions are extremely clear and straight forward. It comes with a thick sheet of paper that talks about the science of sound and things like pitch and such. It was such a great teaching moment! My son is 5 and had no problem building this with a little help/direction from me. I figured I would be left doing most of it, but I was very wrong! He was so engaged in this activity. It’s also a great room decoration once done that has a cool, “I made this myself”, story! Seriously an underrated product that I don’t see many people talking about. EVERY child should get a chance to build one of these!
