Very good choice
I was looking for musical instruments to help my young daughter appreciate music making. I wanted actual child-sized instruments (not toys)that could stand up to a child's use. I looked at many items that were either too advanced for my young one, or too flimsy and poorly made. These instruments by Sevi, fit the bill perfectly. They are all wooden (except for the triangle), colorful, and beautifully made. The colors are vegetable based (safe for young fingers & mouths) and the construction is durable. They actually make music! I will purchase other Sevi products with confidence!
Drum is a little small, but it sounds good and maracas are great!
My 6-month-old loves the maracas and the drum - they're currently his favorite toys. He likes listening to mom clack the castanets, but it'll be a while before he can manage them on this own. The maracas make excellent baby drumsticks - everything goes in his mouth these days so the big bulbous end (which he can't fit into his mouth but likes to try) works perfectly. He waves the maracas all around and is thrilled when he makes contact with the drum.
We have the tambourine w/ drum head as well. Overall the pieces make a nice starter percussion set that should continue to entertain my baby - an help improve his motor skills - for a few years to come.
I put the triangle & metal striker away - maybe I'll introduce that when he's 3 or 4, but no sooner. The maracas and drum should work for any age.
Broke first time used
I was excited to give these instruments to my 4 year old for her birthday because they are cute, painted instruments that look even better in person than online. I assumed that since the set was wooden and $10-15 more expensive than other similar sets, it would be durable. My daughter opened the box and the drum broke within two minutes in the middle of her family birthday party. She was heartbroken - she was just patting it with her hand when it broke, but she thought she did something wrong. I don't even know the return policy - I am so busy, that is the whole reason I did birthday shopping in the middle of the night online - dealing with boxing it up and taking it to the post office is last on my priority list, so it is sitting in my entryway, completely useless. I was disappointed that such a cute set that my daughter was so excited to receive ended up being such a waste.
