Kids Guitar Musical Toy Ukulele Classical Instrument(Brown), Wooden Play Guitar for Kids Aged 3 4 5 6 7 8 Year Old

I thought that this combo would be sturdy enough for the annual Christmas 'Toys for Tots' donation drive, and sure enough, it was. Good value for money, and hopefully soothing for a child dealing with poverty in Covidland.The ukulele is relatively tunable with a little help. Since the four strings are not four strings, but two strings that loop under the edge of the bridge (the opposite end of the strings from the tuning pegs), it becomes necessary to lock the bridge end of the strings to make them tunable. While it might not be possible to get perfect pitch while tuning, it should be possible to get the top string to have a low pitch when plucked, the bottom string to have a higher pitch, and the two strings in between to have evenly spaced pitch between the two outside strings, which would then teach little ones that this is how a stringed instrument should be set up.This modification is easy to accomplish as follows:First, loosen the all of the strings so that they all make a low-pitched sound when plucked. Mix and apply a little clear epoxy with a toothpick where the strings loop around under the bridge to lock the strings to the bridge so that they don't slide back and forth while tuning later. Let the epoxied ukulele sit face down (I put it head down in a plastic bucket and leaned the face against the side) for a full 24 hours for the epoxy to completely cure. Then you can tune the strings relative to each other and have the tune hold for a longer time than if you did not secure the strings at the bottom. Since this is a toy instrument, it is safe to epoxy the strings, since you would not be replacing them on a toy anyway.If you're unfamiliar with how to tune a string instrument, once the ukulele has finished curing, simply pluck the top string until it makes a pleasing, low sound (or carefully match it to a note from a pitch pipe, if desired and possible), and then hold the top string down between the first and second frets down from the neck of the ukulele and tighten/loosen the peg for the second string until it sounds just like the top string when the top string is held down and the second string is not. Then repeat this procedure with the second and third strings, and finally the third and fourth (bottom) strings. Anyone familiar with string instruments recognizes this technique as being similar to the technique for tuning the top four strings of a six-string guitar. Finally strum all four strings and see if you are pleased with the result.I figure the effort to lock and tune the strings is worth the trouble for a donated instrument, since this might be a child's first experience with a musical instrument, and it would help to make sure that the relationship between the tune of the strings was representative of the relationship between the strings of a serious musical instrument, so that the child learns from the start that the low-pitched string is on top and gets a sense of the relationship between the pitch of the strings.The harmonica was just fine, as is. In fact, it can be used as a pitch pipe to tune the ukulele. Bonus indeed!Enjoy!

My daughter (2) and her baby brother (9 mos) both love this set! The instruments are very good quality for the money. We’ve gone through 2 other brands of “toy guitars” similar to this, and they broke fairly quickly. This one seems to be relatively toddler proof! And of course the guitar is cute, and what kid doesn’t love harmonicas?!

Not sure what I expected for the price. Maybe for the backside not to be scratched. This does not feel durable. It is a Christmas gift so we will see soon. I knew based on other reviews that it would be small but dang. I was looking at options then my granddaughter saw my phone and went bananas for it so I bought it. Don’t judge me, you would have done the same. That’s why you’re reading this review now. 😉

What a beautiful surprise- this little guitar is tunable and playable!!!I've bought and seen many little much more expensive wooden ones that were untunable no matter how much you tightened the screws in the pegs; in short, I'd call them useless.It even has decent intonation up the neck! I've played plenty of "professional" (expensive, not toys) that don't.I'm not a big review writer but came in here to say thank you for making something good; because I'm so blown away by this "toy" that is actually a musical instrument.

It was advertised as a set with a harmonica...no harmonica....but the guitar is good

I bought this little guitar for my 1 1/2 year old for Christmas. He LOVES IT! As we all know little guys this young are not the easiest on toys and they do take a beating. The only reason I have it four stars for the durability is because the string that holds the pick broke within the first week. Thankfully I saw it happen since the pick is so small it could have been a choking hazard. (Maybe a bigger pick would be better for this guitar so that’s not the case) He didn’t use the pick anyway so it’s not a big deal for is. The guitar itself is still in perfect shape. I love the little harmonica bonus that they send along too! It’s easy for him to use unlike other harmonicas that come in kids music sets. The guitar is just the right size for him to hold and play. It also has tunable strings which is kind of cool since it’s just a toy. Overall I would suggest this as a give or to add to your littles musical collection!

perfect for little fingers!

Bought this for my toddler the quality is appalling it's completely out of tune, it won't tune properly and when I managed to loosely tune it it went out if tune in a minute. Do not but this crap
