I bought it for my kids but I found more enjoyment out of it than they did. Solid design, the kids DID have to teach me how to use it but now that I know, he’s mine.

I stumbled upon this by chance and bought it to entertain the kiddies at a holiday visit. I thought it was so neat that I tried it out myself but found it to be really small and that I couldn’t work it too well, but it quickly became evident that the difficulty was with my larger fingers of my adult size hands that barely fit on its tiny fret board because when put it in the much smaller hands of my ten year old niece, she instantly took to it, could play it much better and liked it a lot. Although it still seems more like a toy than an instrument, I like that it was unique and cute enough to keep her and her younger sister entertained for a bit and that it gave them something to play with that stimulates some kind of artistic creativity.
To me the sounds it produces are a little annoying, but the kids seem to like it. If I had to guess, the average age range for this is probably between 7 and 11 (I say this because my 6-year-old wasn’t nearly as interested as my 10-year-old) and that’s just basing it on the size factor of how the larger your hands and fingers are, the harder it’ll be to use (but still have to be large enough). Any older and especially for adults, I’d say that the larger more expensive deluxe model would probably be much better and that I myself am interested in trying out and might order soon.
I recommend it because it’s cute, unique, affordable and that it did make a great gift for my 10 year old niece.

It doesn’t seem super responsive. It does work but it’s not exactly what I thought it would be. It should be fun though. Can’t give 5 stars, the quality isn’t good enough to justify that. If it turns out to work better than the 10 minutes I was playing with it, I’ll be happy and I’ll come update.

Great toy for kids. Just make sure to switch off when not in use, uses up batteries fast.

It’s a really fun instrument my son finds it really fun and uses it every day. He already can play the song on it and made some of his own. It’s a nice thing a I suggest it for kids.
