I bought these for my three year old granddaughter who loves making music. The size, heft and durability are impressive and the sound is absolutely beautiful. Each bell is on a sturdy base so they won’t tip over while she is playing with them. There is a nifty carrying case which makes it easy to transport the set back and forth to music class or grandma’s house. The set comes with 8 mallets so she can play with friends, her teacher, or mom and dad. I wish that a music book came with the set but I bet I can find one with a little looking. I am very pleased with this purchase and I know it will hold up for many years of use.
