Had first ordered a carillon made of wood, but the sound did not work. The individual sounds were barely distinguishable, I believed that it was not suitable for a child. Then I discovered this chimes made of metal. The gifted child and was thrilled with the supplied small booklet, they could quickly re-enact the songs ... well ... the rhythm you have perhaps hone something ;-) The metal leaves lying on a plastic base, see the clapper not particularly stable, but it's also a tool and not a tool. I hope that the instrument holds long and the child the joy of music awakens on.
