Why must so many parents of stupid children blame the toys malfunction on the toy. Do they not realize that some of the problems that arise from new toys are due to misuse or improper supervision of their children. No child is perfect, just as no toy is. Your children will fail at somethings during the course of their lives, deal with it. Just buy cheaper toys, or make your own if you think you can.

I found this toy quite dangerous when appplied with the full usage of voltage and lubrication. Maybe my family is more extreme than the “average” 2.6 child household, but if you play hard, you need to expect more blood and guts than classical music. Be careful and have fun!

Well, we received the Cube in a battered box and found that the device functioned marginally. The carrier may have dropped a piano on it or something. It appears to be an adequate toy but far too expensive. The sound / instrument quality is actually quite good. The build, design and aesthetics are so so, but again, the expense is unjustifiable. We will be returning ours because of its condition (one button remains constantly depressed and no sound comes from it unless rattled vigorously). The damaged goods status gives us a good reason to return this sub par, high cost toy. There are alternatives out there for a better return on your toy budgetary investments.

I am extremely disappointed in this toy. I spent a few months trying to find it, and was so excited when my mother finally found it on eBay. I quickly paid slightly more than the going price for the cube, but I didn’t care, since the outstanding reviews it received made it seem well worth it.
Unfortunately, the toy proved me wrong within 10 minutes of arriving at my house. I started by playing each instrument separately, going for the violin first. I quickly realized that the track was actually a horrible synthesized violin – EW. To add insult to injury, the track was flat in some places, sharp in others. My husband thought it would sound better with all of the instruments playing, and maybe it wouldn’t sound flat relative to the other instruments, but no – we then discovered that the tempos are all completely off. The flute is too slow, the harp is too fast, and the piano track is about the only track that actually sounds somewhat correct, in terms of the intstrument it’s supposed to be and the song it’s supposed to be playing. To the reviewer who said the cube made him shudder everytime it turned on, I completely sympathize. It makes your skin crawl!
Right now, my husband is pulling the cube apart to see if maybe he can tweak it to make it play a little better, but I’m convinced this was a complete waste. It’s a sin, because my son absolutely loves the flashing lights and the music, and hitting the different buttons to bring the different pieces of an ensemble together, but I refuse to let him play with a toy that encourages rushed tempos and flat notes. Save your money, and pick up one of Mozart’s CDs. Better yet, pick up the Baby Einstein Mozart CD; the Baby Einstein Orchestra uses simple sounds to recreate Mozart’s most popular movements that make it easier and more enjoyable on baby’s ears. And, they’re actually in tune!
To the lot of people who rated this toy with 5 stars, perhaps you need to head back to elementary music class. Don’t waste your money, unless you want to teach your child about rushing tempos and flat notes with disgusting, synthetic sounds.
