Our daughter (2) got the organ grinder at Christmas. The little girl was thrilled and could start the organ grinder automatically after a few attempts. Since then, he runs several times a day, often several times in succession; the stuffed animals are placed in a circle and this may then listen. The volume level is ok and no louder than other Dudel- mirror witness who rearing small children must anyway be able to switch to "swipe". :-) It may be that the battery is not replaceable, but if you buy for 6 euros Playmobil toy you can just do not expect a high-tech. The little girl takes it definitely great and the volume is for children not harmfulness I would buy it again.
