this would be appropriate for any age, even an adult. it sounds great, is well tuned, and doesn't look juvenile at all in my opinion. also it is economical. i waited for it to be on sale for around twenty dollars, sometimes it is higher. i think you will not be disappointed at all, with the exception that it is a limited number of notes so you won't be able to play really complex pieces with a wide range of notes- but that is of course clear in the description.

is was a gift formi daughter she has 5 yrs old and in her school in the music class they have instruments and the sound is the same

Yes, this is a wonderful instrument to begin learning to play on. The sound can be a bit "bright" in my opinion and it does not have a built in tuner. Well worth the money for the instrument!

If you haven't played the violin its very hard to play I would recommend that you rent one at a local music store before you buy one. But for the price of the stentor 2 it would be good to start with it sounds good.

Only if you are very short. A buddy of mine plays drums for a living and he plays them with my kids when he comes over, but I think you would be pretty uncomfortable playing them for an extended period of time, especially if you are thinking of making them a practice kit or something.

I can't remember the brand, my sin has it in school. As if this an intermedia instrument, it sure sounds and performs like one. I used to play the trumpet in high school in the marching band, when I tried it it was in tune and the sound was great. It performed like a professional $800-$1200 trumpet.James

Most band teachers don't like it however my daughter lives hers. It's a good starter instrument. As the years goes by, you will need to upgrade to something better. My daughter is in the 8th grade and has had this particular clarinet for over a year. I know that when she go to high school, I'll have to get her a much better and expensive one.

I would think so. I got this for my 4 yer old because he loves to drum but he has destroyed all the drums make for kids. 'Y husband also likes to play this. This is definitely much better quality, and the various sound choices are great. We would like to get a real drum set, but since we live in an apartment, this is the next best thing.

I am adult and not a beginner and I use it as a travel guitar. If this is your only guitar, I recommend a full-size guitar. But if you want something small to knock around with, travel or practice with when you are away from home, it's a good choice.

I would advise you to wait on the trumpet until he is about 10 years old. He can have fun with a recorder. Yamaha makes a good plastic one. Since he is a little guy, I'd suggest getting him a soprano recorder. It's not very expensive and if he really wants to play, this will provide a way to get started.

Well, the thing needs kind of a gentle touch, so the ages that would tend to toss it around, bang it, you know, that kind of thing, aren't good for it. I use it for picking out tunes (with one hand - can't do two) and that sort of thing. It's really kind of a fancy toy, not really a "real" musical instrument (unlike my flute -- which I also use to pick out tunes, but only when housemates won't complain about the noise - can't put headphones on it :) ). I'm edging up towards my (ahem) "golden" years, so, with the warnings given above, it's good for that age group, too.

An adult could play it. I've played my son's. But unless you are particularly petite I would not recommend it for everyday play.

Yeah, my grandkids play with it 10/12 years old. It's not a professional instrument but fine for practice and finding out whether this is the right instrument fit. Trombones are fun to play.

Its great for beginners! I purchased it a few months ago. I got new strings for it though and the sound improved immensely. On youtube "the online piano tutor"(she does violin too) has a really good review on it. :-)

I would guess this would be just right for a beginner. My 13 year old daughter does just fine with it. I would suggest going to a local music store to purchase different reeds, however. The reeds that come with it are not great, and sometimes don't work well.

It's a piece of crap!!! Don't buy it!!!!!! Spend a little extra money and get a nice one. Save yourself the embarrassment of it not working when you get ready to use it for the first time. Go to American Music Supply you can make payments on a really nice one. Good Luck.

Well it's mainly tuned for a bass guitar, although having plugged in an electric guitar it still sounds pretty good. A bass drum may cause it to rattle or destroy the speaker possibly, but I've played some pretty dub stuff (low frequencies) on mine with no ill effects. I'd say try it, but you might be better off with a dedicated keyboard amp.

Yes. It is a fantastic piece of equipment, I recommend it. You can also hook it up to an amp and it will be a regular drum set for a group. There are many possibilities.
