This was a gift for my 5 yr old grandson. He asked for a drum. This is similar since it has drum sticks. The sound this makes is so mellow and beautiful. Parents were so happy that it_ not an obnoxious noise.
Love the sounds, the size perfect. Still exploring the instrument. Carrying bag excellent.Only problem have is wee song book....details on tuning etc very little. Would have appreciate more user guide than song notes.
