I got one each of the Clarinet, Saxaphone and Trumpet in this line. All three were well enjoyed by my children, and several friends who visited asked where they could be purchased.The buttons that cover the vent holes in the Sax and Clarinet are simple plastic levers. Unfortunately, a rough child can dislodge these pieces, and the pieces are soon lost unless a parent pops them back in. Once a button (or more) becomes lost, it takes more lung power to get a sound, and the music that results is discordant. It would be nice if the box were to include several replacement keys for just such a circumstance. The trumpet's keys seem more resistant to normal abuse.

My 5-year old grandson loves it. Went marching around the house playing it. Hadn't figured out how to make different notes yet. Now he want the sax after seeing the picture on the box.Complaints are that it sounds too much like a harmonica even though it will play a full octave scale. However, the notes go higher instead of lower as you press on lower keys.......backwards compared to a real clarinet.Main positive feature is the ability to produce your own music and help initiate future interest in a real clarinet ( or any wind band instrument).Recommended for youngsters too young and small for a real instrument.

I bought the clarinet and the trumpet as a gift to a neighbor who had searched locally and online to find toy instruments for her 4-year-old granddaughter. They enjoy playing them together. The instruments are similar to some that were available in the 60's, very appealing. These are more in the toy category than in the instrument category, but a toy version was what I was looking for. The clarinet is easier to play but the trumpet is probably safer for a child walking around with it. I plan to purchase two trumpets for my two nephews for Christmas.

I bought this for my niece who is almost 4 years old. She and the rest of the family (2 x 6 years) loved it. They mastered it quicker than the adults. The trisk is that the instrument won't play unless you are holding one of the keys down. Slightly confusing that the scale goes from A-H or something - rather than A-G, s a normal scale does. The few pieces on the back of the packaging are a good start, but it was more fun to watch my niece in front of a mirror watching herself play like she was a pro. She might be famous yet!

My daughter plays a real clarinet, and little brother is always bugging her to play it. Now he has his own. I am surprised that the sound isn't too annoying! It doesn't sound too bad at all. My clarinetist wasn't too impressed by where the keys are positioned and the mouth piece, but do remember, this is a toy for children to learn to love making music on and to be proud they have the ability to make that beautiful music. Big sis may not approve, but the 5 year old thinks this is as awesome as her Yamaha. Mom agrees!

My six year old received this for Christmas. She figured out the color-coded music within a few hours and had the songs that were printed on the back of the box memorized within a couple of days. She loves this toy! She shows off her musical "talent" whenever we have visitors. I agree with other reviews that the materials aren't exactly durable but for the price it makes a good sound. Just had to teach her to be careful with it. Wish Bontempi had a little color-coded songbook so she could learn more songs!

My 2-year-old son loves this toy! So does my 4-year-old nephew. We also bought the saxophone and trumpet along with it. They were the main attractions for Christmas. Unfortunately the saxophone broke the day after they opened it; so if your kids are hard on toys, be prepared to replace them quickly due to the flimsy plastic. The box has different songs they can learn, which are color-coded and provide the necessary fingering, also. I believe this is a really good investment for your future musician.

We got this in March, and the kids didn't really take much of an interest at first, but this summer they've really started to play with it...they have a great time making up songs, and my oldest(almost six)likes to try to play to given "pieces". That's really my only complaint. the provided music is on a large portion on the back of the box...have to cut it off to save it...would've rather had a song book instead of having to store, and not destroy a long piece of cardboard.

My son calls this a flute, and rather than argue, we let it go. But his little hands have a hard time holding it. (He's 4). Even I have trouble. I'm right-handed and the right-hand keys are on the bottom. I don't know if that's how real clarinets are, but it's awkward. Also, your whole mouth has to be covering the entire mouthpiece in order to make it play, so that's also a little frustrating. But the sound is great and it's fun to play once you get the hang of it.

We bought this clarinet along with the Bontempi saxaphone and trumpet. My 5 year old son has gotten a lot of use out of all 3 instruments. The quality of the plastic isn't as durable as one would like it and it can get broken easily if a child is too rough with it. However, we've had multiple children use all three instruments and are still intact. It was worth the money! Glad that we purchased it.

My 9 year old niece and 2 year old nephew love this clarinet. I purchased it for my 1.5 year old son to play with and it is a little more advanced that he likes. To make noise you have to hold down the keys and blow pretty hard. He finds it difficult however the other kids think it is wonderful. I would definitely purchase again and might start making this a gift idea since it has been so popular.

My four year old loves his first instrument and that was good enough for me to be happy with my purchase. Wish it came with a little booklet of songs as opposed to the songs etched on the back of the packaging (which made a hasty exit to catch the xmas refuse collection - oops!) One of the keys flipped of but clipped back into place easy enough - very good for its price.

My 2 year old son LOVES this toy. Although he can't read the music notes, he still likes to create his own songs... His older brother plays the Clarinet and is always admiring him playing. So this was the perfect gift so that they can play along with each other. He had no issues playing this and the sounds that came out of it were nice! Would recomend!!

cute little instrument for kids to play around with...it does require some coordination b/c you HAVE to press the keys down while blowing in order to produce a sound. It can play real melodies and has some color coded songs included to learn...so all in all it is for a little bit older child to play around with to get anything out of it.

He has had so much fun with this. It took him a while to realize that he had to push air through while pressing a key in order for sound to get out, but all systems go after that. He doesn't spend hours at a time with it, but it hasn't been cast aside. A big hit during Daniel Tiger Neighborhood when Stan the Music Man is featured.
