Carillon Pentatonic Glockenspiel

When I read the previous review I was hoping she just got a defective item. After all, this is over a hundred dollars for a child's instrument (I'm using it in my first grade homeschool group). But mine also has the error. D, E, G, A, H (intead of B), D, E. I was hoping that I could use it with students who are just learning to read music, but if the key has an H engraved on it, how will that help them?Did Choroi decided to just sell their defective instruments through Amazon?

The instrument is well crafted. It’s in the pentatonic 5 note scale which means no matter which notes you hit it always sounds good and harmonizes. Many Scottish folk songs like Auld Lang Syne are written in the pentatonic scale. I gave it four stars because it comes with a mallet that I had to replace with a pair of wooden mallets to get a louder and brighter sound. (I bought a small 8 inch pair through Amazon). The notes are engraved D,E,G,A, H (which should be a B) D,E. So this is a G Pentatonic scale. FYI: Amazing Grace and Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah are written in the pentatonic scale. (The black keys on a piano are the pentatonic scale) This is not a toy - it’s a very nice little instrument.
