Customer Review: lame plastic beeping thing
Summary: 1 Stars
This toy has two functions. First, it's a four-note musical instrument. Second, it plays recorded Bach melodies. The two functions don't have much to do with each other, so it's no surprise that they're poorly integrated.
A button switches the musical instrument between three different voices, but it doesn't change the playback.
The four notes are sol, la, ti and do, so you can't play much besides "Miss Mary Mack".
Like most electronic toys, it is monophonic (playing only one note at a time).
A button switches between three voices, but the Bach playback is unaffected.
The Bach sounds much like the Master himself might, if he were still alive but had abandoned the great organ of the Leipziger Thomaskirche for the beeping keypad of a microwave oven.
The pipes still play while Bach is being played back (and by "played back" I mean "desecrated"), but for some reason they play diferent notes -- but not the notes the Bach piece is beeping, so don't try to play along.
The notes are assigned backwards, so that the biggest pipe plays the highest note.
A much better gift would be one of the Little Tikes pianos (which, being mechanical, are polyphonic). And a CD of real Bach music.
