 Early and oftenOct 14, 2009
By EClaire
This is a great toy, and not just for those 18 months and over.
When he was 4 months old, my son picked this out at the store; he seemed intrigued by the tones when I demonstrated it. I placed it at the end of his play gym, and one day he stretched out a foot and hit a piano key. Bing! He stretched out another foot. Beng! I could almost see the wheels turning. Excited, he started kicking fast, realizing his feet were playing a tune, and he loved it! I always kept the piano far enough away that he would hit only the plastic piano keys and not the harder xylophone keys. During tummy time, this was a toy to which he would stretch, and playing it made him forget that he was on his tummy.
A year and a half later, he plays with this all the time. When he was learning to stand and walk, we kept this on the ground, because it could hurt if it fell. Now we keep it on a low table at "piano" height, and he plays both the piano and the xylophone (yes, the string is a bit too short, but the lawyers probably designed it).
Another big plus to this toy: No batteries.

 Badly off pitchDec 30, 2009
By Steven Rau
"S. Rau"
My wife just got this for our son for Christmas. We tend to favor toys that will foster a love and understanding of music. Perhaps there is an advanced music lesson to be had here -- that when you cut a piece of steel a little smaller than another one, it will indeed be a higher pitch but not necessarily tonal with respect to the other. That's not a lesson that my seven-month-old is ready to learn. The scale of the octave is badly out of tune. It grates on my ears, and I hope to raise a child on whose ears this toy would grate as well.
It is a good looking toy, and it seems like it's probably durable. It "works" in the sense that the action of the keys results in a bell being struck. For these reasons, I give it one star rather than trying to demonstrate that it deserves zero.
Only buy this toy if you are sure your child is tone deaf or ready to explore breaking away from the limits of chromaticism.

 Disappointed in this musical toyDec 31, 2009
By Mary Arnold
I bought this cute xylophone toy for my year old grandson. Even though it is a toy I expected more. Quality control should have made sure that there was a complete scale. In this case the 2 highest notes were identical in size and therefore sound. The pitch was off on a number of keys. The producers could have done better for a musical toy. Even though it came with songs (that is if you cut up the box to get at the song cards)they were annoying to listen to since the notes were either missing or off pitch. I would not recommend this xylophone.

Very disappointingApr 10, 2011
By Gambit293
We had wanted to get Little Tikes' worm xylophone/keyboard, which is very similar to the Jamboree Tiger. However the worm, which I had gotten for my nephew around 5 years ago, is no longer made, so we figured the Tiger would work just as well.
The first one we received from Amazon had about two keys badly out of tune and about three keys that would only chime with dull thuds, unless you hit them very hard. We returned it and received a replacement, which was even worse, with even more flawed keys.
All in all, this was a very disappointing product, especially compared to how well the worm worked. I will note that Amazon prime provides fantastic return service.

Buy if you don't care about tuneMar 29, 2010
By Rhea Wuth
This was purchased for my son and he absolutely loves it. I would love it more if it was in tune. I realize it is just a toy but each time he plays with it grates on my nerves. The piano part is more in tune than the xylophone.
