I spent ages trying to find a xylophone for my two year old nephew and this was easily the best product I could find. The xylophone looks well made and sturdy even if the French toy company had got this toy manufactured in China. It does seem a durable and "old-fashioned" kind of product and the tone of the notes is pleasing. The notes are well tempered and therefore play the tones intended when sruck with the two, wooden batons.However, the "bright coloured box" transpires to be a normal cardboard box with photos on it with the xylophone being wrapped in polythene on the inside. This was a disappointment although the instrument now has a Grandma-made material case to compensate.I would suggest that this toy will need a degree of protection and the cardboard box won't last five minutes. The other disappointment was that although the xylophone has 12 keys, the notes are diatonic and not chromatic. I.e. There are no sharps or flats. This is a major incumbrance to music making and practically limits the player to performing everything in the key of C major with the option of a few penta-tonic scales. For me, this compromises this product's educational value but lengthy searching on the internet and telephoning toy shops proved that this is easily the best toy xylophone available at Christmas 2010.In summary, this is a very nicely built toy, looks durable and is particularly colourful. The fact that the keys actually play the correct note is an advantage over nearly all the other toy xylophones and the number of customer reviews I read where this wasn't the case proved that nearly all of the other models / versions available were not worth buying. In some cases, the adjacent keys played the same note when struck!! Anyone looking for a chromatic xylophone will have to invest in a proper instrument, at which point the price seems to leap up to the £100's. So whilst this instrument is not perfect, it is definately the best toy xylophone on the market. Most young children won't notice the missing 5 notes and this will generally only be noticeable to musicians - until you try to play a melody with more than 1/3 of the possible notes not being available!!

Great for children and sound not too noisy for adults; head flew off one stick at first use but easily reattached, so check before you give to avoid disappointment

Beautifully crafted, this toy also sounds right. Unlike the wood one, it has a clear, lovely sound and a large scale. I would definitely recommend it.

This one actually plays notes and is well made. A lot of the others out there are in no way musical - this is.
