My 2, 3 year olds love instruments! I was given vocuhers to buy them some online and was thrilled to see that I could afford to buy quite a few. Prices are brilliant. My son loves to play with it. It was hard to play one of the buttons at first, but after a few weeks we didn't notice. It didn't always play the note.
It is a great addition to our musical collection!

We bought this great little toy for our son's 4th birthday, because he really wanted a "trumpet", and it was the perfect thing to get. The instrument is perfectly pitched to 4 fixed notes, which allow children to play a couple of recognisable tunes easily, and the packaging includes finger maps to show them how to play these. I also agree with company's claim that the sound has been designed deliberately so as to not be annoying - in fact it's quite pleasing to the ear and not too loud (much better than so many other musical toys out there, that one ends up hiding away in the furthest cupboard). If you have a child who is musically inclined but too young yet to learn a real instrument, I really recommend this. It improves coordination and introduces children to the notion of being able to play real tunes with an instrument (rather than just random sound collections), and to the concept of how to follow some kind of score.
Overall, this is a really nice quality toy, which I would wholeheartedly recommend.
