Santa brought my son this glockenspiel for Christmas this year. Unlike similarly priced toy xylophones, this baby has great tone - German engineered tone. If you think that is not important, you haven't spent much time with toddlers in enclosed spaces. It is pitch perfect and a delight for all in the family to play. From the photo you can see that the mallets slide and snap into the side of the instrument. My son enjoys taking them out and (trying) to put them back in even more than he enjoys playing it. He isn't exactly gentle with things, so the fact that the mallets are not yet broken is further testament to the quality of this toy. Remember, you don't buy a musical instrument because it's cute or has a great modern aesthetic.

I was looking for a chromatic glockenspiel. This one is not. The instrument is falsely named. All of the bars are in the key of C major (CDEFGABCDEF). A true chromatic is C,C#,D,D#,E,F,F#... you get the point. It sounds nice and all but I simply can't teach my child all the songs I wanted to because of this limitation.

I was looking for a clean sounding xylophone for my child and this one had many good reviews. I do like the educational value of it, however, for the price of nearly $40 it is way too small, which makes it difficult to play. Also, one mallet broke in half and the second one had a head off in a matter of a few hours. Lastly, many of our chimes have paint coming off. So, I would not recommend this xylophone unless you plan on always supervising your child playing with it and plan on buying a new set of mullets.
