“This box of rhythm instruments was exactly what I expected! I’m a music teacher of preschoolers through 4th grade and needed to augment my instrument box…The drum and tambourine I received had heads that were made of rawhide, not paper, and will last a long time if children treat them as the musical instruments they are.” – Susan Schmid

“An excellent product. We started “music together” classes with my 2 toddlers and we wanted a basic rhythm set without breaking the bank. This is by far the best deal for the money–more durable (and you get more items) than Melissa and Doug, they are REAL instruments (not bug-shaped and brightly colored like the Parents’ set at Target which looks gimmicky IMO)! The drums are awesome–very good quality (I’ve been banging on them as hard as I can–feels very sturdy). Sand blocks are a must! We love LOVE this set!” – G. Hunt

“This set is packed with an excellent variety of instruments. Our granddaughter absolutely loves the easy to handle instruments and the CD. We enjoy playing along with her.” – S.J. Roels
