Are these all terribly out of tune? Is it worth exchanging for another or are they all this way? Any way to tune it?

The one we received was out of tune. My kid doesn't mind, so I've just kept it.

Mine doesn't sound so great either--I doubt any of them are tuned perfectly, so I wouldn't exchange, and I wouldn't know how to tune it. But my daughter still loves to play with it, and I figure that's good enough.

I think they are all that way. If you want a xylophone for your child, I'd purchase a different product. But if the toy is used with the balls and the hammer, it doesn't really matter. It's a good toy, but it is definitely not a musical instrument.

Mine doesn't sound bad at all. There is one plate that sounds a little off from the rest and that's it. Agree with previous answer - this is a toy. It sounds better than the Fisher Price one. Good luck.

A digital tuner is your best bet, but I wouldn't waste my money. I have owned two of these and the tuning keys got loose and ruined the guitar with just one or two tunings.

There are several ways to tune the resonator. Drop D, open D, but I & it seems most like the open G tuning D G D G B D Here is what I use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By1gAJYwuno Good luck, Ted.

Mine was almost perfect. The intonation was off by a pinch on the third string. It sounded good before the adjustment, and excellent after.

Hey bud! Just though I'd sound off. First I absolutley love my pitch hawk. Best tuner ever. Small accurate and looks awesome. My playing has improved greatly. It rarely leaves the guitar. For this price just buy one. Will not regret it

I have the exact same problem. Going to return for replacement. I happen to have the speakers from the c-3602 set. I'm going to try them and see if they are imbalanced too. That will tell me if its the speakers or not.

No not if You expected to work correctly out of the box. My daughters instructor tried to tune it and was afraid that she was going to crack the violin if she continued to tune it. Some of the other posts advise if you replace the strings that will fix the problem but I didn't attempt to that I just went out to get another replacement one that was a little bit better

I'm uncertain; but for the cost, try it. If it works, it's the best on market for what it offers (IMHO). If it does not work for you, you can, I believe, easily sell it. It is my "go to" tuner for all my basses! Best wishes.

I bought mine months ago and have only needed to tune it four times....I do not play it for, sometimes, three weeks at a time and it stays in tune!!!!

No this is the worst guitar I have ever played on. It won't stay in tune. Investing a little bit more money in a better one will be worth your while!

Hello! I got Valencia CL-160 couple of months ago. Honestly, I'd rather pay two times more and get a cheaper version of Cordoba or Yamaha. (I have Yamaha 3/4 and it sounds brilliant).The guitar is rough and sound like a piece of wood. Strings are too high and you can't adjust them because there is no key hole. Electronic part is very cheap - the sound is awful. As usual: you're getting what you payed. Sorry for such a negative comment!

This is a great violin, but ANY new violin, either a cheap one or an expensive one, needs to be taken to a luthier for adjustments before you can start playing it. A luthier should be able to fix that issue. I took mine to a local luthier (who btw thought this was an excellent violin) and for $20 made several small adjustments (usually the bridge is what requires the most of them) and it has been working and sounding great since then. So my advice, find a luthier and bring it to him. If you don't have an accesible luthier near you, sometimes putting some chalk to the pegs help with the problem (I did that on my previous violin and helped to some degree). Good luck.

No, I didn't resolve it. I tried 3 different ones, and they all had the same noise. Let me know if you end up going with the same model from a different store, I'm interested to see whether this is a problem with Amazon's batch or the entire line. It's too bad everywhere else is so much more expensive than Amazon though...

I would suggest just returning it for full credit as I did. Clearly there are quality issues with this product and it sounds and looks a lot better than it actually functions (sadly). I would go further to say that it shouldn't be on the market!

sounds defective. I would call company or just send back. Mine works great for long periods. Just got another one for my sister.

Mine has been good to stay in tune. I check the intonation regularly and it stays in tune. I would say when I have had to tune it a week or two and even then it is a very slight tuning adjustment. I am very pleased with my Kayla! I hope this helps and please feel free to ask me any other questions.
