Summary: Not Pleasing to the Ear
Comment: It works but, if you are musically inclined, you will be disppointed in the sounds the Boomwacker makes. The kids like it but why would anyone want to use this to make music!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Doesn't hold much interest
Comment: 5 yr old received this as x-mas gift. Ours did not come with the tube holder (as stated in add) and was surprised how cheap the quaility was for the price we paid for them. Son loves music and thought this would be nice addition to his collection of instruments. He played with them for all of 10min, told me they were "beat" and now they are in a heap in the corner of the playroom (scattered about as they do not even come with a bag to hold them all together). Save your money and put it toward a better toy, or cut up lengths of your own PVC pipe for same effect.

Summary: A fun gift
Comment: I purchased this as an early birthday gift for my nephew who is nearly three years old. Overall I was pleased with the product (and so was he). Yes, they are plastic tubes; no, they are not very loud. And therein lies the charm of this product. The sound is enough to enjoy while playing, but not enough to drive someone in the next room crazy. And they are tuned! He used the rubber-tipped mallets to play a few songs for his adoring audience, then promptly removed the tubes from their case and began some really creative play. The bright rainbow coloring is very attractive (and in the same order as occurs in a real rainbow). While he did not care for the octivator cap, the rest of the family and I thought it was extremely cool and imparted a fuller (and of course deeper) tone. I gave this product 4 stars instead of 5 because at age nearly three he is probably too young to get the full enjoyment out of this product right now, although this is certainly something he can grow with.

Summary: Great TOY! ...despite what I've read
Comment: I'm only writing this to say that my young children love these things and have a great time with them and that they are very child friendly. Before buying them, I had read in a few places that these are too difficult for children and are more appropriate for adults with musical experience. IT IS A TOY! If adults can do fun cool stuff with them, great, but they are made, sold and used as a toy. Why not a 5 star rating? No reason other than it's not their favorite toy. :)

Summary: Fun for one child or a group!
Comment: I bought these for my music lover when he was 4 years old. He loved them so much that he wanted to take them to preschool to share with his friends. His teacher loved them so much she wanted to order some for the class. The kids had a blast playing with them all morning. My boys are now nearly 6 and 3 and these are always guaranteed fun when we play with them. I really like how each person can hold a tube and you can whack them on the floor to play songs together. Yeah, they are a plastic tube, but they are a fun plastic tube that teaches them about music and entertains them!
