Rating: - Shreiking Joy!
I purchased this gift for my cousin's three year old daughter. Her eyes widened to the size of melons when she saw the musical "intaments". The joy of seeing her expression more than paid for the actual price of this fantastic toy. I expect that she will be driving her parents crazy with music for the next year or so. The quality of the toy is impressive, not cheaply made, M & D toys usually speak for themselves and I purchased the smaller set for my two year old and he loves it too.

Rating: - Lots of fun
My son loves this toy. I just wish the box had a lid, but other than that I think it's great.

Rating: - Great idea, semi-poor quality of instruments
My daughter (18 months) loves the instruments, but the only thing that really has any decent sound quality is the harmonica. The flute does not work at all. Overall very nice variety of instruments and colors.

Rating: - This is lots of fun
I bough this for my son's 2nd birthday. He loves it. Within a few days he had figured out how to use the flute and the harmonica. I was amazed how well he does. Now we both play music together. It teaches him rythm and is just so much fun. It comes in a nice crate you can keep all the instruments in. I would recommend this for any child.

Rating: - tuneless xylophone
When we ordered this set we were especially excited about the xylophone, which turned out to be shoddily made and completely out of tune. Don't order this set if you want to make music with it, or if you're expecting quality workmanship. On the plus side, there are a variety of noises to be made and the baby seems to like it well enough.
