I bought this for my college student son. He is hard to buy for but suggested odd and interesting musical instruments as a gift idea. I picked this up not knowing what he'd think of it. Well, he liked it a lot! He plays keyboards so this was up his alley. It sounds good. He and his music minded friends were having a good time the first day and he plays it occasionally just for fun. So, I say it was a good purchase. It is made well. The storage bag is a plus and is also of good quality. It's a fun and affordable instrument for anyone who likes something different!
