EASTROCK Professional Glockenspiel, 25 Notes Xylophone, Perfectly Percussion Instrument

The media could not be loaded. WorksPerfect! I recommend. NoneOf the keys fell off

I like that it's very portable in its case. Of course it'll take practice, but I have a nice time attempting to play fun songs. I am pleased that it has sharps and flats, unlike other instruments I have recently acquired.

I don’t think I realized that the xylophone was connected to the box. I thought it was stand alone, so I didn’t really like that, but it was on sale and I clearly didn’t read the description so that’s on me. We have fun with it but later on I’d probably look for another one.

Makes great music, multiple octaves, great for learners (as long as you store the instrument between sessions), the plastic mallets are a little bit not as sturdy as they could be - but I followed a recommendation here to get new mallets and those were worse. So the plastic mallets are the way to go, I just wish they made the mallet stick a bit thicker and less bend-prone. Fantastic excellent purchase, and the pink color is kind of fun - reminds you to pull it out and practice more. Easy to store, although the latch to open/close it takes a bit of memory on how to open it. Love the music made from it.

Perfect for my 6th grade beginner percussionist. The case seems sturdy and the price is right for me to feel comfortable with them taking it to school to practice. Very clear and True tones. Might do better with different mallets

I purchased this xylophone to play at Preschool circle time. I can play by ear, and worked out the tunes to “open, shut them,” the alphabet song, and twinkle twinkle fairly quickly. I don’t let the students bang on this, as the school is open concept, and there are no walls between the different class areas. During Covid, I had purchased some squeaky dog balls so the students could play squeaky soccer. This made me instantly unpopular with the other teachers. I don’t want a repeat. The xylophone plays on key, sounds lovely, and has survived a month and half in my classes, which says a lot. Give this beaut a try- you won’t be disappointed!

(SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE) This plays very well, lovely sound, but a lot of the screws to hold the bell plates in place were flopping around loose inside the case. I put in as many as I could, but one is inaccessibly stuck inside the case and the other is simply missing. I would have preferred to give this a 5-star review, since it sounds great, but nothing in the description mentioned assembly being required or parts needing to be obtained. I would be happy to amend my review if the vendor would like to supply the two missing screws.Update: the missing screws were lodged under the frame; a student found them and we re-affixed them. I have upgraded the review from three to five stars since, now that the screws are in place, it’s just perfect.

Mine came missing some notes! Fine if this is for a small child. But I wanted this for recording and was let down not having every note.
