Wish it came with something to tune it with.

This item isn't precision-tuned to a scale. Therefore, there is no tuner. It is designed to be for musical exploration. We do offer a Cedar Thumb Piano (M114) that is tuned to the pentatonic scale. We apologize if there was any confusion. Sincerely, Kristine Horrace Merchandising Manager

It took a bit of trying for my three yr old granddaughter to get the hang of it. It should be played softly. Very pretty!!

Sounds good but gets out of tune quickly.

This product is cheaply made and is a complete waste of money. It was falling apart before it was even used. It was filed away and not given as a gift as intended. Do not buy this, you will be disappointed.

We like to take turns passing it around and playing some music, perfect for our four year old. The metal bits you play (the keys)adjust and move around a little, but if you tweak them back into their place, it is well worth the money and the pleasure it brings to our family!
