I bought this after seeing it solo at a Kat Edmonson concert...I couldn't believe how good it sounded at this unbelievable low price...So I bought it for my great niece for her birthday in July...This is well before july and I decided to play around with it...I'm going to order another one it's set up like a piano and is pitch perfect.. A perfect learning tool for youngsters that you might want to keep for yourself...

How can I review the Lyons 25 bell, when what Guitar Center sent to me was a 1rst Note brand 25 bell xylophone? The 1st Note seems a little smaller, based on the pictures of the Lyons with children, and the plastic mallets curve a little, and I see that the mallets for the Lyons bells don't curve noticeably. The bells received are pretty good for the price, I suppose, but I will be reluctant to order anything from GC without in-store inspection. Would the Lyons bells have been better, or worse?

I played 3 years of orchestra bells in school and really missed it after graduating. A lot of orchestra bells sets are really expensive, so I was so glad to find this one for less than $30. I tried to convert to playing keyboard, but it's a hard transition as I'm not used to playing with ten fingers versus gripping two mallets. The orchestra bells are also more cheerful and loud, which I like. Highly recommend this set!

I was expecting much out of this one when I bought on a whim during a sale. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I found it to note only have good response a great tuning, but also a sturdier construction than I had imagined could come from a $15 plastic glock. I wish they had one that had a longer scale. The keys are a little small and hard to hit, and the mallets are a fairly cheap. Good quality; not just for kids.

Gifts for three grandsons. They were a hit! They play other instruments so these are great when they play together and when their friends come over for a jam session on the patio! The Patio Band!

My wife has a music degree. We bought this to use with our grand kids. It has great tone quality and is easy to use. It is much better than the toy ones that you would get in the toy department of a store. It was worth a little extra money and was not that much more expensive than the toy ones. Great value.

I use this product to teah music to children ages 1-5 and it is a great product. It stores away very nicely and you can stack them on top of each other.

I would most definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants an inexpensive but quality xylophone/glockenspiel. I expected this to be more of a low quality product especially since it is advertised as a children's or teaching instrument, but it's sturdy and has a great sound.

I generally like the chimes, and it didn't cost much. The main problem is the sticks that are made of fairly soft plastic so they don't bounce well; wood heads with shorter wood sticks would be better I think.

I'm a semi-professional percussionist with a cash flow problem, and I bought this because I had a little extra cash and thought it would be fun. It's much more than that. This glock has a brighter, sweeter sound than bell kits for school band (which are much more expensive). The included mallets aren't much, but that's to be expected for what is essentially a toy. With good-quality mallets, this little instrument works wonderfully for multiple applications, and records well.

Self contained case makes it easy to store away and protect.
Need to buy some children song sheet music.
Price is fair.
