i bought this for my nephew (2 y/o). it is awesome!! it sounds so good and has a real deep sound. i purposely bought it along with a set of kids bongos to drive my brother crazy.  im 28 years old and i find myself playing it everytime i go over his house.  A year and half now and it is still holding up to the punishment of a 2 year old boy, a 5 year old girl and a 10 month old boy. Def a good buy.
