Baby Einstein + Hape DJ Discovery Musical Toy Turntable, Ages 6 Months and Up

Purchased this as a gift for my niece and she absolutely loved it!!! It was so much fun right out of box, and was a perfect gift for an 11 month old. Be sure you have at least 3 AA batteries! This guitar is a wonderful introduction to musical instruments, adding colors, lights and sound effects for irresistible fun! It is very engaging, both visually and physically. The light color on the neck matches the color of that key, for exampe: red key = red light, orange key = orange light, and so on. There are no actual guitar strings or buttons. It does pick up pretty well on the strumming motion and really encourages motor skill development! There are two volume controls, a softer setting and a louder one you can flip back and forth. You can also change the sound of the guitar, acoustic style or banjo, which can be fun for a different sound! The Whammy Bar is the most fun though!!! Enter silly mode using the whammy bar and have endless fun. Show your little ones what it really looks like to rock out! My husband was having an absolute ball acting silly putting on a show. It is made out of quality materials that be easily cleaned and is a great value for the money! I love that it can be added to other Baby Einstein instruments and you can create a whole baby band!

This toy has been a hit in our household. The piano is so fun and the sound on it is good. I love how you barely have to touch it to make noise with it. I even find myself practicing Mary had a little lamb on it during playtime with my baby lol. It is super lightweight and built really well. I love how the sheet music that comes with it is like a plastic material that will hold up.

Super Cute , small. The record spins easily. At first, I did not realize it made any sound. it is activated by touch, not push activated. Which is perfect ! Wipes clean easily

I love how this is a touch instead of a button for infants who do not have the fine motor skills yet to grip and play with toys. I see it as a transitional toy that can help an infant engage to learn that they can make sounds and music with touch. It's been a great tummy time toy and on-the-go distraction.

** 8/10/2019 Update Another user review commented on this, but the drum began to emit stuttering sounds when switched on, preventing the drum from playing. After swapping out the default 3 AA batteries with new ones, it works perfectly again! Just a note for customers looking to purchase this in the future, in case any of the "stuttering issues" may prevent them from a purchase. ----------- In short, the toy itself is very sturdy and has held up for the past month, despite the toddler banging on it with his wooden-block toys. It has a few scratch marks on it already, but the sound works fine. A few notes about the drum and the sounds: - The drum itself does not require the user to exert much strength to get the drum to trigger a sound, so you can simply tap the drum pads with your finger, or even wave your hands slightly close to the pad. - The drum sounds/pads can trigger slower paced rhythms fine on a single drum-pad, but usually anything faster will prevent the drum from playing sound properly. The far-left/far-right drum pads seem to be the most fickle, as I cannot consistently get the drum to play a sound faster than a 16th note (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t). - The drum also has some classical music built-into the machine, which plays when pressing the large blue-button located in the center. This is great for exposing toddlers to music early-on. At the end of the day, the toy is perfect for the kid, and he loves using it for drumming, a stool to grab hard-to-reach items, and for random bouts of stress release with his toy-blocks.

I brought the baby Einstein piano a few months ago and the now 13-month-year-old still plays with it each and every day.

My 1-year old niece loves this toy! I could tell she was into music because she dances all the time. She got so excited when she first played it!

My baby absolutely loves this DJ table! Definitely a favorite. The sound is very nice, unlike a lot of musical toys that can sound tinny or distorted. Would recommend!!
