Well designed for little children
My granddaughter loved this band set. She is just one years old but the instruments seem very safe. She immediately picked up both moraccas and shook them and danced with them. The sounds are soft so not annoying to parents although the little cymbals could do with more of a clang sound.Not sure yet about the box it comes in. Makes them accessible but takes up more room to store. Well worth getting and happy with my choice.

Colourful made to last
I like this set, it's very colourful and has a good variety of instruments in it. Once all the plastic packaging has been removed and the instruments are in the box I feel like there could have been room for another instrument or two and my only criticism of this set is that I thought the symbols were a bit small. Other than that, very happy and would recommend to a friend

A great introduction to rhythm
We've bought quite a few Melissa and Doug toys over the years and have been very happy with them so my daughter bought this as a birthday gift for her four year old cousin.In the very nice velvet lined box you get several basic musical instruments.- Clacker- Cymbals- Tambourine- Tone blocks- Maracas- TriangleThe instruments are well made and feel nice in the hand. In use the clacker, tambourine, tone blocks and triangle make a good sound. The maracas are a bit quiet and could do with more rice or seeds inside them to give them more of a 'shic shac' and the cymbals are a tad tinny to be honest. But overall this is a great little set to introduce music/sounds and rhythm to a child.Recommended

Nice size but...
Have changed my rating to 3 now, and here are my thoughts after using it for 5+ months.The good stuff (1) am glad that I got this wooden toy set on offer for £12.(2) the triangle is very nice good. Makes a pleasent sound like it should.(3) comes in a box (but no lid).The not so good stuff- (1) the clappers were too tight, we were able to loosen the elastic so it is fine now.(2) caymbal should make a bang-g-g-g-g and now a dull bang. Not sure if am explaining this okay(3) maracas are quiet quiet.(4) the tambourine is fine so far the plastic disc will soon break. My son has managed to make a hole in it by banging a stick in it(5) sound block.(6) the suggested age on the toy is 3+ years but the toy can actually be enjoyed by much younger child. Also am not sure if 3+ is slightly older for the child.

Full size, well made
Good selection of percussion instruments, these are full size so not ideal for small children/babies. The wooden storage 'crate' was damaged in transit but can be glued/repaired.

Good set
Bought this for my son and daughter, I’m glad I did as I love wooden toys and this set is brilliant. I like the fact it comes with a wooden crate to store the instruments in. Both 1 year old and 4 year old love them!
