Quality musical instrument [55 OF 114 PEOPLE FOUND THIS HELPFUL]
My son enjoys banging on this xylophone. The sounds are not as clear as a metal one (or as loud), however that may be a good thing.

A Little Musician's Dream [64 OF 127 PEOPLE FOUND THIS HELPFUL]
My son got this for his 1st birthday. At first he just liked carrying it around and throwing it but, it didn't take long to understand how to use it and love it. We both love the colors and sound. Loud enough for him but nice enough to keep me sane.

My daughter has loved banging on this toy, and it seems to be a comfortable seat as well :) Great quality toy though and is clearly versatile!

Cute, fun, and not annoying [87 OF 151 PEOPLE FOUND THIS HELPFUL]
The wood keys are not as loud as metal ones, but that is really an advantage. This toy won't drive us batty, but my son is 13m old and already loves banging on it. It's pretty tough too - he sits on it and crawls over it and the elastic is still taut!

Easy on the eyes and ears! [65 OF 138 PEOPLE FOUND THIS HELPFUL]
At first I was disappointed that the sound was different due to the wood, but now I actually see it as an advantage and it's important to note that the sound does still vary based on which color (due to the piece size really) you hit. Very pretty looking!
