It’s a hit!
This is a lovely instrument, attractive to look at and bagged beautifully for taking out and about. The tone is pleasing and the booklet of easy to play tunes a delight. Thank you 🙏

Lovely little toolbox.
This is such a good quality little set. The pieces of wood that can have the bolts etc. added on act as lids. The bag that comes with it is such good quality too and means that the little bits don't get lost and it can be taken out and about safely. Very happy with this item and would definitely recommend it.

I purchased the “little Elsie doll” as a gift for a little girl on her brothers christening day. ( she is 2 year old)
The joy on her face at receiving this gift was priceless and she loved her. Just the right size for little hands and pockets. Thankyou.
