08-03-2026As my wife convinces me that Melissa & Doug are the superior children's toy brand, I decided to take it upon meself to replace the pile of steamy crap that is the blessed Xylophone from some unknown family member. So looking up amazon for Melissa & Doug Xylophones, I clicked buy without second thought, TRUSTING HER BLINDLY.To my surprise, while the build quality of this toy is fantastic, with strong rubust mallets and thick wood and metal keys (to be fair nothing could be worse in comparison to the splintering excuse of sushi chopsticks wrapped in rebar shavings of my son's previous toy), I have an Eb, Fb, and a G# on this toy.WHAT, may I ask, is the point of this well-produced out-of-tune toy? My son is going to be playing with this through his young, impressionable age and grow up to sing a demented minor key version of the ABC song! If he develops perfect pitch, it'd be perfectly off key. So, yay to toy, nay for musical accuracy.I give 3/5, which is slightly better than 4/7, the number of accurate keys on the Xylophone I received.

08-03-2026This is a cool design and looks good although I wasn't too impressed with the tone. I guess it's a good thing I wasn't buying it for me or to use it to make professional music. This is a toy I bought for chickens to peck at and entertain themselves. The chickens most likely can't tell it's out of tune and seem to be entertained by it.

08-03-2026I bought this as a baby's first birthday gift. She loved it. It's super cute. The hammers are the bugs antennae. You just tuck them back in when not in use. The colors are bright and fun. Perfect gift for a baby's first birthday. ❤️
