Comment:
My daughter received this as a Christmas present. After playing with it for two minutes (no kidding) the toy broke. I replaced the batteries but it still didn't work. I wasted my money on this, don't waste yours.

Comment: Santa brought this to my daughter and the sound quality is very poor. She was not really interested in it, i think for her age, she's 3, she needs something bigger. I was not imppressed.

Summary: Sweet revenge
Comment: This toy was a gift from my mother to my three-year-old son. She swore she would get me back for all of my antics as a child and boy did she! This is the perfect gift for anyone on your list that you would like to torture. This toy is loud, kids love it, and you can't break it! My head hurt so much, that I got it for my brother's kids. That will teach him not to laugh next time! So it does have wonderful educational value!
Honestly, this is a good-humored review, but the toy really is fantastic. My son loves it. Ours is blue not pink. It is wonderful for allowing kids to express themselves musically. He has played with it every day since he got it and it has taken quite a beating. The toy is strong and is ready for more fun with him. You can never start children early enough in music. It really helps develop so many skills such as language. We all dance to his songs and try to make up silly lyrics to go along with his melodies. Fair warning and all kidding aside, this toy can be quite loud. You may want to get some earplugs. It does have a volume knob, but the kids always put it as loud as it can go. Good luck!

Summary: A Fun Toy for Kids
Comment: We purchased this for a two year old girl who has been fascinated by our electronic piano and knows how to press buttons to make different sounds (and turn up the volume!), so we thought she might enjoy her own keyboard. She does.

Two major advantages are that it plays only one note at a time and has no volume control - kids cannot bang several keys or turn up the volume.

A big surprise is that her 5 year old cousin found the booklet and began reading the notes (labeled by number in the booklet and on the keyboard). She was delighted that she could play "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" within a few minutes. She will get this gift for her birthday next month!

While the younger child loves the drum key, hearing the dozen sample tunes that are programmed in and playing the keys, the older one is actually learning tunes.

I recommend this as a very affordable way to introduce a precocious 2 year old to the keyboard, and definitely recommend it for 5-6 year olds. This is a cute item - and if it does break (it looks durable, but it's too new to predict) or the child loses interest, you haven't lost a lot of money. Who knows - you may have a little Mozart in the family.
