I am planning on purchasing this item for my nephew but I wanted to address the confusion about the xylophone. ALL xylophones are made of wood. If a similar instrument is made of metal they are called bells or a glockenspiel.

I thought I’d weigh in on this set because of the bad reviews… I bought this for my 10 month old and we have a lot of fun playing with this set together. We bought the second set with the tambourine in it first and love it too (if you have younger kids and are buying only one set to start out, this set may have more usable instruments for them). He loves to put the kazoo in my mouth for me to play while he hammers away on the xylophone. My kazoo works fine, perhaps some people don’t know how to play it? You don’t just blow through it, you kinda have to “talk” in it to get the membrane to vibrate. I don’t mind that the xylophone isn’t terribly loud… so many toys are so loud these days, I find the organic sound kinda refreshing. The castanets and harmonica are a bit to mature for him yet, but work fine. I only wish the harmonica was made of metal instead of plastic. I’m so excited about M & D’s musical sets, I just ordered their piano the other day too. I can’t wait! Overall, I’d recommend this set and buy it again.
