"Delightful Addition for Meditation Area"
The xylophone is well made and is a nice addition for meditation purposes. My only reason for not giving five stars is that while there is a full octave of tone bars, there is one that is out of tune and does not create a full correct scale. I know the artist indicated that she is not a musician and I must say that otherwise she did an excellent job of tuning the other bars. I would give a five star review if I could get a complete octave in an in-tune scale. The wood is good quality and the hammer is good.
