This toy claims that it encourages early music-making and it even has a song on the back of the box for the child to try out. The musical "scale" is C major. The problem it's way out of tune! So bad that the G is really a F#. Even Traeden can tell the scale is off. Here is what the scale sounds like C, D, E, F, F#, A, B, C We bought two because Devin loved his xylophone as a kid. Well both have the F# issue and one of the xylophones has two high C's next to each other. The second xylophone plays C, D, E, F, F#, A, C (very muted),C. So muted that it doesn't ring at all. This was very disappointing to me so when I called Fisher Price to explain the issue they laughed at me and said it's just a toy, it not suppose to be musical. Well I say, I don't want my children learning the sound of a C major scale wrong. Plus any song they try to make on the toy is going to sound wrong, That is not going to encourage music making or a sense of accomplishment. Don't buy this toy!
Fisher Price will let me return them both for vouchers to buy other fisher price toys but I have to pay the shipping of course. All I can say is I'm not pleased with Fisher Price Today!
