Tuned, loud, high pitched February 18, 2010

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RBA0R1RIHP3WS I can confirm the notes are perfectly tuned. The yellow plastic mallets are too long and flexible, but not breakable. Hardwood mallets give a nicer strike and a better sound if you don't strike correctly with the plastic mallets. These hard plastic mallets are a little "soft" which does not bounce off perfectly. I'm being picky. Stay away from other children bell sets that do not have very rectangular bars with sharp edges: the rounded edges give undesirable harmonics. These are perfectly square at the edges. The notes are high-pitched and loud, like the one 4-star reviewer wrote. You can use the handles instead of heads of the mallets to get a much softer sound for practicing. My wife: "Did you buy that for our child or yourself??" and "You're hurting my ears!" High pitched and loud. It is a bell set, after all. Opening it takes a little effort and concentration to press the button correctly. Our 1.5 year old is not able to open it. As long as it doesn't break and stays closed when it is supposed to, the little extra hassle of opening it is OK. The snap design appears like it is not ever going to break. The low C measured 1047 which is perfectly two octaves above middle C. The first note is a G that is 1 octave above middle G, and the last note is a G that is 3 octaves above middle G. So your basic C to C playing is 2 and 3 octaves above middle C. I'll try to record a "video review" that includes the notes, G to G.

These bells are worth the few extra dollars over the price of a toy version. The sound rings clear and beautiful. The photo of the product on my computer looks like the bells are shaded blue and white, but they're silver. The clasp sticks a little, but no big deal. It came from Woodwind and Brass, and I had a shipping address mistake and the company was extremely helpful.
Cute little Xylaphone! March 3, 2010

This is a nice beginner insturment. Not a fancy xylaphone... but it has a beautiful sound. For the price it is a great buy! Nice carring case. I wish that it came with a few sheets of music, though. Fast shipping.

So it's not really a xylophone, just a cute glockenspiel. the blue picture bell set is not what I got, I got something much cuter when I ordered this, it was primary colors with two cute yellow plastic mallets. The sound is beautiful. My husband can play modified version of supermario brothers theme song, because apparently you need more notes to play it properly. My kids like playing it, but frankly I bug my hubby to play star wars theme music and super mario brothers,because he's good at playing this instrument and the real thing works compared to the baby toy version.

This Glockenspiel is exactly what I was looking for.
It has a nice ring to the sound, and it is altogether well built.
My only complain would be that the mallets are plastic and somewhat flimsy, and I would have much preferred metal or wood ones, but regardless this was a great product and it sounds great to accompany my ukulele :]
