Title: Great for Little Hands
Product review: I actually run the music program for an elementary school and use these flutophones for the 2nd through 5th grade. The 4th and 5th grades are thriving, and the 2nd and 3rd grades are generally doing pretty well by and large. These instruments are well enough made and none have broken yet. I do tell the kids not to take off the removable mouthpiece, or if they do, to be careful not to break the fragile red spacer-ring.Flutophones are easy to play. They are better than recorders for smaller fingers since they are shorter with holes closer together. They are better for smaller finger tips because their holes are smaller and have raised lips that are easier to cover than most flat recorder holes I've seen.Well worth the $2.99 each we paid! I suggest all my students buy their own for home practice. It is great when they get playing together it reminds me of a little carnival. The sound to me really sums up childhood.
