It is the first interactive toy my four month old baby figured out how to use, though he tends to hit the sides with his feet rather than his hands. The musical selection is good, the quality of the tones is also quite good. You won't regret this one. I love this Magic Cube. It was a gift from a friend, and is a fantastic toy.
But really, each button plays exactly the same notes except with a different instrument. The musical sounds don't sound like the real instruments, they just sound like a cheap toy. The ones on that toy are really neat. I was really disappointed, and my daughter prefers the music buttons from her Tiny Love Activity Center. Also, I thought each instrument would play its own melody, how it would in a real orchestra. For example, the horn would play the background, the flute a lighter melody, then all the instruments would combine to create the true melody when the orchestra button is pressed.
MK It was a hoot to watch. This is my favorite baby present. My grandson learned quickly how to make the lights and sounds work and so did the Yellow Lab.
You will be very happy with this purchase. This toy rocks. Small toddlers to preschool love it and its totally undestructable.
It allows children to listen for different voices in the harmony. Unlike most electronic toys, which we generally hate, this one was on-pitch. Ours broke eventually (our daughter liked to throw it down the stairs, in addition to playing with it), but we are going to buy a new one. My husband is a music professor, and we LOVE this toy. It was given to us as a gift for our now 3-year old, in 2005 (I mention this because a 2003 review complained about the music quality).
