Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Deluxe Beginner Band Set
Customer Review: Very Good Wooden Instrument Set For The Beginner
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good set for your beginning musician. My child took to the harmonica instantly and continues to play with it. He plays along with my while I play mine too.
I've read allot of disappointing reviews regarding this Melissa & Doug Deluxe Beginner Band Set. This set is only an introduction to the works and mechanics of music the keyword "Beginner" should alert you to this. That said, this is not a professional set by any means. That would cost more than the offered price by at least 100 times.
Yes, the Xylophone sounds blocky, because it is made of wood. You could choose the Fisher Price set which has a "tink" sound to it, which is made of metal and plastic.
Here you are getting a nice array of instruments for a great price.
The Harmonica is of very good quality.
The Gazzo works very good but has a short life span, due to the paper diaphram.
The Xylophones key range is very good. It does have a wood block sound too it. I am a little disappointed about the mallet though. A square mallet does quite a bit of damage to the keys. This set should include a round mallet instead. Not something that looks like a meat tenderizer.
The Castanets are neat, but aren't very functional with toddler hands. The cording is a bit stiff and unworkable, even for adult hands.
The Jingle Stick is great too. It is very functional and is even pro-grade.
Overall, I am very pleased with the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Beginner Band Set. All of the instruments and a great price to boot.
