I got this just to add to the pile of "fun" stuff in my studio. It works great. The sound is a little thin and metallic, like a toy xylophone to be honest but unlike a toy xylohone it is perfectly in tune and very much useable as a real musical instrument. The sound can also be made CONSIDERABLY richer by placing the metallophone on some kind of resonant box. Like a wooden table or a speaker cabinet. Even a wooden chair can work.
The bars are a lot smaller than on a full size xylophone so a lot of precision is needed when playing.
Build quality of the wooden frame is excellent but the little plastic parts that keep the bars in position seem VERY fragile and I suspect they may prove to be a weak point.
For the price I'm really happy with it. It's not a top quality instrument but great fun to have around the studio and lots of cool arrangements can be made with it. Certainly a lot more fun than loading a MIDI xylophone (although the result may not necessarily be better...).

It's cheap, it's in tune, it looks good and it sounds awesome. It sounds even awesomer if you put it on something to amplify the sound a bit. Anyways even without that it was pretty nice gift which is still used even after looong time after the birthday. Considering all that it's a bargain if you're looking for something musical for you kids to play with and you want it to be a bit more than just another quickly broken toy.
