The xylophone works great for practice and sounds surprisingly good. The case is solid and the whole thing is easy to pack away and move. The only downside are the included mallets, which have thick plastic/rubber handles that are nothing like standard xylophone mallets. I'd strongly recommend getting soft or medium rubber mallets with a rattan shaft (Artifact Percussion, Chalklin, Malletech, etc. all sell these) as these are much closer to the mallets you would use on a concert instrument in performance. The included mallets work nicely for suspended cymbal though!
Overall an awesome xylophone for practice at home, but with strange mallets included!
