 Not a pleasant sound April 2, 2010

I wish I loved the Plan Toys concertina as much as I love their drum or the adorable pull alligator toy. But oy. It just does not produce a single pleasant sound, which is especially ironic considering the product description claims quite the opposite ("Plays Pleasant Sounding Notes") - hmmm...hardly. I'm not even sure we can claim it makes more than a single sound, which is one identical to a police car's siren.
Giving it two stars if only because we still play with it every once in a while, and it remains part of our young toddler's music instrument collection (along with the above-mentioned drum, a glockenspiel, a guiro, etc.), but probably just for novelty's sake. It would be lovely if this were reworked so that it actually produced anything that could be remotely called "music."
 love concertina February 1, 2010

We bought this for our grandaughter and she loves it. She is 18 mos. and learned to use it very quickly.
She has had it since Christmas so it's durability is still a question but as so far held up well.

I bought this while still pregnant. I saw another baby light up when his father played it for him. My daughter is only 7.5 months and can't play this alone. But, she loves when I play it. No matter what she is doing, she stops and looks at me and smiles so big. The noise is ok. I don't think a pretty sound is the point, I think it's just supposed to be fun for a child to make noise in the first place. My daughter enjoys chewing on this and rolling it around. I'm happy we have it.
The placement of the hole could be better, but I don't think anyone would put their hand flat against the ends, you more cup the ends, thus allowing air in and out of the hole.
My two year old LOVES it! September 8, 2009

My two year old loves this concertina! It is very simple to play. She holds the straps to push and pull. However, my older daughter puts her fingers under the straps and it plays wonderfully! For a toy instrument it is heavier than any cheap plastic toy instrument but durabilty often comes with a little extra weight. My child is so excited to hear the noise she is making. To her this is a great instrument! I would encourage others to buy it.
I COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH THE FIRST TWO REVIEWERS! This is a great toy made by Plan Toys.
 Not for a 19 month old June 5, 2008

The product description says for 19 months and up. I don't think so. This toy is pretty heavy and bulky. And squeezing it to make sound would require a lot of effort for a 19 month old. Another frustrating thing is they put the air vent for the toy to make sound right under the straps where you hold the toy, so you can't actually touch the toy while playing it, you can only hold the straps. Not very well designed.
