Thai Teak Wood Thai Traditional Musical Instruments Teakwood Teak Wood Wooden Xylophone 8 Bar Notes, inch Wood040

Great decoration. The sound is beautiful and I am not sure why there are so many negative reviews. I assume most are from people expecting a North American xylophone (this is not an American instrument and the notes are not the same nor the same note structure). Solid little item that is roughly the length of a large dinner plate. It was well packaged but in a box way too large which allowed it to move freely (luckily the delivery company handled it with care). The packaging left room for it to break if it were tossed around, so I suggest using more size appropriate boxes in future shipments as one half the size would have worked.

This arrived poorly wrapped and the item broken.I managed to repair it but the wood blocks are not calibrated in tune after rethreading the blocks back on to the string

Very pretty was my 1st thought. Originally purchased because my 11yr son is a beginner percussionist & he’s been learning marimbas so I thought this would be good for him to just practice. With the price being so low, I bought 2 so he could teach others to play. Once received, these are so small, they can’t be an instrument but more a decorative item. Does produce different sound per key & can be played as such, xylophone or marimba, etc. Could be a great teaching tool, kids toy, practice piece for beginners, or simply a nice decor piece for music lovers or your fav music / band teacher. But do be aware of what you’re buying here. My pic has a ruler to show you the size of the sticks as well as the item. Yes, I’d buy it again. Beautifully designed & crafted. Price is really good for the item. I could see these going for double as a novelty in a music shop.

Había leído algunas malas reseñas acerca de este producto en relación a su funcionalidad, a sabiendas de esto lo decidí comprar como adorno. Al final no pude ni verlo porque me cancelaron la compra

I should have read the reviews before purchasing. It's tiny compared to what I thought it would be. It was delivered in a plastic ENVELOPE, not a box, with about 4 layers of taped bubble wrap around the item.There is no sound distinction between the bars. I can get the same result tapping two wooden spoons together.Incredibly disappointing.I love strange instruments, so I was looking forward to this one. Instead I just feel ripped off.Its ONLY redeeming quality is that it's pretty. What a waste of money! I'm glad I at least waited until the price dropped a bit...
