“Our 2 year old daughter was fascinated by Beethoven through watching Beethoven's Wig videos and through watching her brother learn Beethoven's 5th on the piano. We bought her this bear for Christmas 2018 and it hasn't left her side. It's her favorite sleeping friend and she loves the music. The bear is super soft and perfect for cuddling. It has a great selection of Beethoven's best and will hopefully help support a love of classical music for our little one for life. We plan to buy the Mozart bear for our newborn this Christmas.”
“Edit: I contacted the company trying to get a replacement music module and found that there's unstated 6 months warranty on the actual electronic parts.I just got two replacement modules (just in case I guess) and the toy works beautifully again much to the delight of my daughter.As such I am upgrading my review to 5 starts. The music is really great and the bear is cute.The bear is very cute and the music is surprisingly nice when it lasts. It certainly was a hit with my daughter.Alas, ~3 months into ownership the beautiful music coming out of it suddenly became all scratchy and distorted. Batteries changed and all that and it did not help.”
“Bought this for my granddaughter’s 1st Birthday. She loved it from the minute she got it. I play in an orchestra and wanted to share my love for classical music with her. I love the quality soothing music and the softness of the bear. At first we couldn’t find the autobiography but it is written in the lining of the music pocket. You have to pull out the lining to read it. Nice touch. Now that we’ve had it awhile the only thing I’d like is if it turned off after awhile when she sleeps with it. We checked on her after two hours and it was still playing. It won’t be a big deal when she gets a bit older.”
“This bear is very well made. The material is soft, plays the full length work of 8 Beethoven pieces, this makes such a wonderful gift! I wish the volume went a bit softer but we love as is. Our 3 month old loves it... and so do I!”
“I first purchased for my daughter, she is only 4 months now. I turn it on when I am nursing, when I am reading book to her whenever she can explore to music. This bear is not only cute but also plays 40minutes non-stop Mozart! I Purchased another set for A Friend baby’s birthday. She loved it instantly(picture girl) She loves how soft this bear is, also she loves to hug those friendly looking bears! I would highly recommend this music player to anyone. Enjoy!”
“Cute bear, but the box in which it was in was pretty banged up. And the paper materials in it where clearly used a bit. Almost like this was used by someone else, returned then repacked. Disappointed for gifting purposes to have such a torn up package.”
“Very pleased and thankful for this amaizing Ludwig! My baby sleeps through the night and my toddler likes to sleep close by to hear the soothing music. Ludwig is magic!! He helps my baby fall asleep. Ludwig is soft and comforting.I have been searching high and low for a soft stuffed animal that played classical music. My youngest, baby number 5, went through a major ordeal with my pregnancy while undergoing cancer treatments. She was born slightly more hypersensitive than my other sweethearts. It is was challenge to get her to sleep. I bought the white noise machine, the music, the humidifier and more. She likes classical music and soft blankets. When I found Ludwig, I thought, perfect! And he is perfect. My little angle finally sleeps!!!Customer Service was excellent!! I had a snafoo with Amazon and the owner was quick to follow up.I recommend this amazing toy if you want your baby to get more quality rest.”
“We are a family of four with 2 kids under 3, that's why I wanted to order two Virtuoso Bears, so that there were no fights over them in my house. It was an excellent choice - each of my kids (one is a 10-month old baby, the other an energetic 2,5-y.o. toddler) instantly took a liking to a different composer! :) We incorporated listening to classical music into our daily routine - during nappy changes, when bottle feeding, just before bed. There is already too much electronics in young children's life, so that is so good that now we can play music without having to use a tablet or a phone! I guess these will become part of our musical collection for years to come.”
