First introduced in 1986, the Chimalong is still one of Woodstock's most popular products. Only from Woodstock!
Recommended for its educational value by John Sebastian, Marilyn Horne, Andre Watts, Peter Shickele and the late Jim Henson. Tuned to C Major, the Chimalong can be played by number, color or notes. Comes with an extra #7 tube, which changes the B (for key of C) to B flat (for key of G), giving greater musical flexibility. Also comes with two mallets & color coded songbook. 16 x 13 x 2 inches.

product was everything I'd hoped...the child I bought it for LOVED it, as did everyone else around him -- ages 8-80! Lovely sound and very entertaining.

The sound is great. The spacing foam may or may not hold up with heavy use by my 3 year old grandson.

My daughter likes this toy instrument. The only improvement I think is the support which is made of foam. It could be lot better if made of firm material.

We bought the Chimalong for our 7 year old daughter. I don't think she has had much of a chance to play with it yet! Her four siblings (ages 17, 15, 13, and 11) and her parents found it so much fun. We've kind of monopolized it! This is a great toy to just have around. Within minutes, someone will pick up a mallet and start playing a tune. I just wish we had bought it years ago. A great toy for the whole family. And I promise, we will start sharing.
