 Sounds are not accurate and really quite annoyingOct 11, 2007
By Jeannine M. James

I am hesitant to give this toy a bad review because I absolutely LOVE Melissa and SOug puzzles and my 2 year old just can't get enough of them. However, this one is just plain annoying. All the instruments play Old MacDonald and they are all done electronically and unfortunately do not sound very much like the instrument they represent. I am a music tecaher and I was overjoyed when I saw this puzzle to help teach my son the sounds of different instruments but it really doesn't accomplish that. Plus it's very loud (well they all are) and my husband and I are about to take the batteries out. AFTER I ordered my friend said she had the same puzzle and found it also to be the most annoying that she hides it from her toddler.

 Detrimental to a child's music education!Dec 27, 2008
By Erik
First, the physical puzzle is fine. Just don't put the batteries in. Unless you want your child to learn to distinguish between bland, non-descript synth patches from a cheap Casio keyboard.
How hard could it have been to use an actual recording of the instrument for each piece? This company could easily use a public domain wave file, or better yet, ask some musicians or music educators to contribute a short melody. You wouldn't need access to an expensive recording studio, either. Today a cheap $300 handheld record would do the trick.

As a stand alone puzzle it's great; as a musical instrument puzzle it's time to go back to the drawing board!Jul 23, 2011

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2WGQODEA5XUQF Because this is an audio product I decided to do a video review. It's my first one so please bear with me. The sound isn't as good as I would like it to be but I feel I can still be understood. This should help you decide whether or not you should purchase this item for your child.

Do not buy if you value your child's musical education!Oct 13, 2008

This is another failing sound puzzle by M&D. Their products are normally of good quality and this one like the farm animals is a disgrace. I am not trying to trash them, I just do not want you to be as upset as I was. All sounds were recorded using an organ of sorts and most sound nothing like the pictured instrument. The puzzle itself works out fine without batteries, just be aware that it is indeed a beginners' level puzzle (marked 2+). To their credit, M&D customer service were gracious and offered to send a non-sound playing replacement.

 Cool puzzle, annoying late at nightJan 01, 2007
By A. Kolbe
My daughter loves this puzzle, she plays with it constantly, only problem is , it goes off randomly at night, for no reason, the only way to get it to stop is to take out the batteries. A on and off button would bne GREAT!!!! Having to unscrew the door to get the batteries out at 1am, is a tad annoying!!!
