Kinderkram Glockenspiel 10 notes

The metal bars give it that crisp, bell-like ring that you just don't get from a wooden xylophone, and it stays in tune even after my kid has dropped it a dozen times. It's genuinely sturdy enough to survive daily use, which is more than I can say for most instruments in this price range.

My kid is obsessed with the sound the metal bars make—so much clearer than our old plastic toy instruments. Even I find myself picking it up to play simple tunes.

The rainbow color coding makes it easy for my child to find the right notes, and the tone is pleasantly clear. I just wish the included mallets had a bit more grip.
