Q: Is the the Caterpillar Xylophone that has frustration free packaging or is this the standard edition one?
submitted by Nick M - 1 year ago
A: Hi Nick, The Caterpillar Xylophone comes in standard packaging. Your Friends at Melissa & Doug

Q: Why are the heads of the mallets not rounded. it would seem to me that a round head would make a better tone and if a sibling decided to hit the other on the head, a round mallet would hurt less.

Item arrived broken (see picture). My husband glued it back together. After 2 days of use the paint is chipping. The mallets are much bigger than the keys which makes playing notes feel very clumsy.

It’s super cute but the red paint is chipping off the sticks and now I can’t have my daughter play with it until I find sticks somehow. Just chipped all over right when we started playing it. So bummed.

The toy is cute and simple. It comes with a cute little card on how to play a couple songs however that card can get lost quickly. Wish there was a better way to store it on the item so it wouldn’t get lost. Good price point.

Flat C. It’s so flat I cringe. I love the design it’s very cute but not function or quality. Also, after less than a week one of the mallets chipped at the base and we had to throw it out.

Was super excited for my nephew to play around with this, but the E and F notes were both completely out of tune (at different intervals too). I wish there was some way to fix it or tune it up as it has already been opened! The toy itself is beautifully crafted otherwise

Aesthetically, the caterpillar is colorful, fun and the mallet/antennae are a great design aspect of the toy. I went on a reputable music/orchestra website that listed 10 of the best music toys for babies and toddlers. I also YouTubed this product to see "out of the box" reviews and all of the notes were in tune in the video. C= sometimes sounds like C# depending on which part of the mallet you hit the key with. D= sounds like C# E= sounds like D I LOVE the look of the xylophone though, it's one of the best designs I have searched. BUT, I'm not giving this to my nephew because it is out of tune. I also tried hitting the notes with different parts of the mallet but the "D" and "E" are still awful. :-(

Don't but this. It's completely out of tune. You can't actually play anything on in because some of the notes are completely and very obviously flat. Not useful for learning about notes or music. Very disappointed.
