1. I have to say I'm a little embarrassed to be writing this review, if only because I bought this for my daughter Ursula and then never gave it to her. Like VH1, I really believe in the educational value of music, especially since I was in a Doors tribute band in high school. (I played tambourine.) So I got this for my daughter but when it came and I opened the box, it really WAS a *Professional* tambourine, not a kid's toy. Since she's only 16, I thought I would keep it for her graduation. As I was putting it away, it made that fateful jingle and I got all a-tingle. I started to strum it and high school came back to me, headgear and all. So I took it with me to work the next day (at Wendy's) and I was A HIT with all the junior employees, who started calling me "Mr. Tambourine Man" as I worked the register and gave every customer a little thank-you ditty I called "Tring-a-ling-ling value!"

   But the best part was later that week when I went to the Creed/Black Flag concert at the fairgrounds, and took my tambourine, naturally. As Black Flag was warming up, I was striking my tambourine and marching back and forth in front of the pit (like Gene Debs at the Haymarket), when Henry Rollins pulled me up on stage! At first I was a little scared because he's so big and sweaty and doesn't wear shoes, but then I realized that he wanted me to sit in on "My War" and I felt kind of like Courtney Cox in that Springsteen video. And I danced too!

   One thing though--Henry broke the skin over my heiney as the last chorus came around, so I have to give this product a lower rating on durability.

1. I bought this as it was cheaper than Kmart, which had it for $[...] here in Hawaii. The brand is First Act. These are meant for older children, but with proper supervision, I felt most of the stuff in it was okay for my toddler to use.
   
   My daughter goes to Music Together classes, and I got this so she would have some musical instruments to play with at home when we listen to the music from the class.
   
   She loves the tambourine and the fish and drumstick. She also likes the egg shakers and the spoons. I don't let her have the harmonica or the kazoo as she's too young to use it.
   
   The tambourine is very sturdy. Even after getting whacked repeatedly with the fish, spoons and the drumstick, it doesn't look damaged at all. The jingle sound from the tambourine isn't that great though. The sides are made of wood, and the top part of the tambourine looks almost like thick paper or some kind of animal skin. If you look on the underside of the "skin" there are little pinpricks there that leads me to think it could be some kind of animal skin, but I can't really tell. It is painted white on top, and there is a blue fabric ribbon glued around the edge. The "coins" on the sides seem kind of cheap looking and to be made out of some dull tin material that doesn't sound that great.
   
   The wooden fish and the wood drumstick I think are meant to be used together, and it makes a decent "tock" sound when tapped on. There is a little fish drawing on the drumstick, which itself is the thickness of a cheap wooden spoon you'd find in your kitchen. The stick is also quite short, probably not longer than 6 inches. The fish is hollowed out and has some small detail that makes it resemble a fish. It is also clearcoated with some kind of paint. It is also very sturdy. There are some very small dents on it from my daugher pounding it with the spoons.
   
   The egg shakers are cute and small and look hand-painted rather thickly where you can't see the joint on them. They have a nice soft shaker sound to them. I think I use them more than my daughter. I'm a little wary of the paint since it was made in China, so I just make sure that my daughter doesn't put them on her mouth. They aren't small enough to fit in her mouth, but she might try to suck on them so of course I supervise accordingly.
   
   The spoons are interesting and I haven't figured out how to use them. They are two spoons embedded in a wooden handle. I can tap them on the ground, which makes the tapping noise and the spoons clack together. I have also clacked them together by pressing the spoon handle parts, and that makes a soft metallic clicking noise. My daughter likes to pound the tambourine with the spoons too.
   
   The harmonica is small but sounds pretty good actually.
   
   The kazoo which is blue, we haven't opened yet. The plastic kazoo comes in this small ziploc pouch thing that is affixed to the booklet. There is a ziptie on the ziploc part of the pouch, so I can assume that it is clean (but I will probably clean it with Anywhere spray when I open it). It comes with an instruction book on how to play the kazoo and has a bunch of songs that you can try. The book goes into detail about reading music, but doesn't really teach you if you don't know anything about reading music. It explains the rythym but not the pitch. At the back of the book, there is a little certificate for completing the lessons.
   
   Since all of the parts were made in China, I made sure to clean them, and I also use Clorox Anywhere spray to kill the germs on it. I wipe them dry after two minutes and before giving them to my daughter.
   
   Overall I like this a lot. My daughter really seems to enjoy using the instruments which are similar to those she gets to use in class. The shipping was almost ten bucks to Hawaii, but somehow that amount was reduced to 3 bucks when I purchased it together with some items that had free shipping from Amazon. It took a while to get here, but I felt it was worth it.



2. The kids at my nephew's birthday party loved it. We had a big band going on...so I went home. It was the perfect gift.

1. Tis is one of, if the BEST sounding Tambourine I have ever owned! A++++++++++



2. I was amazed at how fast i recieved it and the price was amazing when i compared it with the stores here. Perfect condition. I am very pleased and will and would recommend this place for future purchases.



3. These tambourines are great for the basic use...very sturdy. You really can't argue with the price. I've seen some tambourines and the price tag on them and have to wonder where did the twenty dollars go?
   
   If you simply want to enjoy the music, this is your best bet.



4. The product is a-ok and Amazon is, of course, just fine... but Musician's Friend really dropped the ball, more than once, with this order. First taking a very long time to confirm the order. Then, extensive and repeated delays in shipment which resulted in my having to cancel the order. Then, two weeks after THAT point, shipping the item anyway - forcing me to have to get on the phone (again) to get them to contact UPS for a delivery intercept. It was just a big mess all around for such a simple order of a single item. I won't be ordering anything to be fulfilled by Musician's Friend and I recommend that you don't either.



5. I purchased this so I can add fun to my dancing.
   And it has been big time fun for me to jump around with it and Bang it as long as you want.
   Have a good day.
