I know it’s a toy, but this xylophone is offensively out of tune. I wouldn’t subject anyone to it. It’s terrible.

It was not easy to find a xylophone that met my criteria for my toddler daughter- I looked alot of places…then on amazon, I found a great price on this one, and it was a) wooden; b) colourful; and c) two octave. I expected a smaller, slightly clunky xylophone that would be just fine for my daughter’s hyper musical outbursts, and if she liked it, we may upgrade in the future. NO NEED! This is a BIG, beautiful xylophone that is tuned well enough ( not 100% perfect pitch for those with a very sensitive ear, but pleasantly done and well made for an ‘around 30$’ childs/for fun instrument) and best of all, SHE LOVES IT! If there is a musically inclined toddler or younger child in your life, I would very highly recommend this xylophone!!

First of all, all wood xylophones have a softer, deader type of sound than the metal ones. That being said, this 15 note xylophone was pretty close in tune except for the middle yellow “E” note. I had some musicians come over and we determined that the “E” key was a little low.
I found out how to fix any keys that are “off”. All the keys have a cut slot in the middle bottom of each key. This is the preferred method of tuning the key. If a key is too low in pitch, just add some wood glue into the slot and let it dry. If it is still low, add some more in the slot. This will bring up the pitch (I had to completely fill in mine to make it sound good). If the key is too high in pitch, just cut the slot a little deeper. Do this a little at a time. Soon, your wooden xylophone will play very nicely. 0 |
