You get what you pay for. While I can’t argue with Joanna Daneman’s generic endorsement of teaching youngsters to play rhythm instruments, I have to wonder if she actually has experienced this specific product.I have, and I can tell you that mine has a dull sound that instantly bored me and a couple of kids. I’ve tried numerous times to find the sweet spot, but I’m convinced there isn’t one. This is the kind of beginner instrument that turns people away from further exploration in music.
Dull Sound It was an inexpensive instrument for my kids so I wasn’t expecting much. While it does “work” it is very hard to find the sweet spot.
split decision The one I received was articulate only on one end. With not much to loose, I sawed the groove down another 3/4″. Sounds much better now. Combine this with the single ended version and you have a winner.
