Constructed well but paint chipped
The toys are solid wood and constructed well but I received this with the paint already chipping on the recorder. Of course my one year old puts everything in her mouth so I will have to watch this.

    I purchased this as a gift for my 8-month old nephew who recently started experimenting with sounds by shaking pretty much anything he could get his hands on. I liked that the product was wood because it would be durable enough to survive my 4-year-old nephew but worried it would be too heavy for the little one to pick up or that he might get hurt with the hard exterior. This was not a concern at all. He is easily able to hold the instruments without any concern. While he is still too young for the castanets and the recorder (kept those in the box for now), he LOVES the maracas and tambourine. The bright colors stand out in his toy bin, which is one of the reasons I think he keeps coming back to these instruments. The best part about it is that unlike other musical toys, it isn’t loud enough to be a bother to the adults lingering nearby. I was so satisfied with this gift that I purchased a second one when it went on sale, just to hold onto for the next baby shower or toddler birthday that I get invited to. I would definitely recommend this product

    Bought primarily for the flute, which does not work at all. Tinkered with it as the blow hole was not free of wood chips and got it to work - but only for a brief moment and after just a couple of flute tones from my 4 year old it stopped working again. Cheap stuff. Annoying.
