These are great. I work with kids with special needs and no one has broken any yet, no paint chipping off, and they sound good. Recommended!

We use these for music time and the kids really look forward to using the sticks. Great for a lt of ages. Thank you.

I bought these to supplement a 15-year-old collection of rhythm sticks I purchased from Kindermusik. These new ones are similar but not as nice — the spiral shape is unpleasantly sharp to the touch and the sticks are very lightweight, to the point that I am concerned they may break with enthusiastic use. I was also not happy about the fact that I had no choice in what colors I received — I got a random mix of blue and red, which is fine, but it would have been nice to have a choice. For the low price the product does meet my expectations so far. I’ll update after some months of use in the classroom.
