🎼 Strike a Chord with Every Note!
The 32 Note Xylophone is a professional-grade wooden glockenspiel designed for musicians aged 8 and up. It features a smooth, polished surface for safe play, an adjustable and foldable stand for convenience, and mallets for easy handling. This xylophone produces a deeper sound compared to metal alternatives, making it an ideal choice for students and brass bands alike.

Great Xylophone for the Price
This xylophone looked very similar to some others that were much higher priced, so I decided to try it. It arrived in a double box and everything was in good order. The wooden bars appear to be Padauk wood, which is the desired type for an instrument. The bars are suspended by string s instead of being screwed down, so they can vibrate much better than cheaper models. It is 2-1/2 octaves from F4 to C7. It seems reasonably in tune but slightly sharp overall. It probably isn't professional quality sound, but is perfect for practicing and learning to play a mallet instrument. Included were 3 sets of mallets of different hardness for different tones. Also included was a metal folding stand that was quite strong and stable, but held the xylophone at about 32 inches high, which is too low for an adult. I am completely satisfied with this instrument and think it is very good quality for the price.

Happy with keys
The overall tone is very nice but I recommend buying a different set of mallets, as the one that comes with the keyboard are cheap and came apart within minutes. The stand also leaves much to be desired. It does not sturdily hold the keyboard at a good height unless you’re about three feet tall. That being said, I’m still happy with the purchase for the price. Exactly what I needed for my son to practice.

Excellent instrument
My 15 year old son is a percussionist and asked for this for his birthday. It’s such a sweet thing to hear music coming from your teens room.

Easy to use
Purchased this for my sin, who is in the marching band. This allowed him to practice his parts at home, which paid off! It has a sturdy foldable stand, so it’s easy to move out of the way when needed. It is smaller than an actually xylophone, but served its purpose

Great instrument for home use.
This is a great instrument to learn mallet technique on. I’d recommend it for students who practice mallet instruments and want to avoid the shrill traditional glockenspiel.While the instrument is really nice, the mallets that it come with are absolute hot garbage.I literally threw away the plastic ones, and the wooden handle ones gave to a student who recently broke their glockenspiel mallets. DO NOT use them on this instrument, they will dent your bars if you play at a medium-loud volume. Use a medium yard mallet for best use imo.

Great for my percussionist
My son has a xylophone which cost over $1500. My daughter is younger and in middle school but wanted one as well. We didn't want to invest much, and we were pleased with this one. My high schooler put it together easily, and while this one is smaller than his with less octaves, it provides some variety from playing the bells and still compact enough to keep in her bedroom.

Terribly out of tune & horrendous quality! Beware! Atrocious item! go buy a Yamaha TX-6 on eBay!
This thing is so poorly made that all of the bars are sanded on random sides on the bottom so that when you play it, the mallet doesn't bounce up off the bar and rebound normally like it would on a real xylophone. Instead, the mallet bounces off in a random direction, making the instrument impossible to play even for an experienced mallet player! But that's not all! It's horribly out of tune! The bars are as much as a half-step difference the interval that they're supposed to be. So some bars that should only be a half step apart are instead a whole step apart. I ended up finding a $200 Yamaha "table xylophone" on eBay which shipped from Japan so I'm returning this Amazon junk xylophone. The Yamaha xylophone is a Yamaha TX-6 and it's excellent quality. There are a bunch of these on eBay currently for around $200 so don't miss out by making the mistake of ordering this joke xylophone! I wouldn't wish playing this instrument in my worst enemy. I bet practicing on this would make you worse at mallet instruments, in fact I'm sure of it! Buyer beware!
