So happy i went with this. Im not a musician, just love sounds. There are many of these available some have only 6-8 notes but are small 5-8". And there are more notes 11-14 maybe even more if possible but on a larger size 10" and up. I have lots of different instruments to play with so did not want to get a big one, plus apartment is small. So i found this brand. Trust me when i say i was did a lot of research and browsing before i commited. I went with this seller, and bought 11 notes in 8" size. I could not be happier!!! Depending on how you are holding it it will be louder or clearer or more silent and dull. The sound is really good, but it is in comparison. If you are in a huge room full of ppl it might not get to the end of the room but if you have a circle of 10 pll or so it will resonate beautifully!!!! You get all the necessary items inside, book, mallets, finger playing mallet, holder, case w strap. I went for this as they were selling out and disappearing in all the colors. So act fast!!! Only 12" will be left, which im sure wony be bad as the sound should be even more beautiful!! And def worth the price for what you are getting compared to others!!
