Kids love this set
My kids really enjoy all the different instruments and making their own music.
Strike up the band with this musical instrument set designed to get everyone involved in the music scene! The Melissa & Doug Deluxe Band Set includes 11 different instruments including a kazoo, castanets, jingle sticks, a xylophone, harmonica, recorder, and more. Kids can get creative as they hum, click, shake, tap, and make a tuneful hullabaloo! The wooden instruments are made of high-quality materials, and they come in a durable wooden case for convenient and organized storage. Encourage toddlers, friends, and family members to participate in the fun! It's a great way to teach little ones classic songs, and get them moving to the rhythm of a little marching band. Playing musical instruments provides kids with many learning opportunities such as hand-eye coordination, memory and motor skills, and creative expression. The Deluxe Band Set makes an exceptional gift for boys and girls ages three and over for hands-on, screen-free play.

The quality of the xylophone is quite poor; the metal bars bent out of shape almost immediately. The recorder also produces a very weak sound. I was hoping for something more robust for little hands.
I bought this for my niece, and it’s been fantastic. The variety of instruments keeps her engaged, and the wooden quality is excellent. It’s a wonderful way to introduce musical creativity.
This set has been a huge hit with my 4-year-old. She loves marching around the house with the jingle sticks and trying to play the xylophone. It’s fantastic for encouraging her rhythm and hand-eye coordination.
The overall idea of this band set is great, and my son was excited for all the different instruments. Unfortunately, the quality isn't consistent across the set. The triangle and cymbals are pretty good, but the harmonica broke after only a few uses, and the kazoo stopped working quickly. It's a shame because the wooden case is sturdy and well-made.
