This review is for the "BETESINE 13 Inch 15 Notes Steel Tongue Drum - Steel Drum for Yoga, Relaxation, Music Therapy, Stress Relief & Outdoor Use - Includes Mallets, Music Book, Bag - C Major Tongue Drum (Malachite Green) (Malachite Green, 13 Inch 15 Notes)"Overall, I really like this steel tongue drum. I got the green and the color is lovely. The quality is also very nice. It has a wonderful tone. The numbers make it a little easier to learn to use (and it's fun to learn!) because the notes are not next to one another like they are on a piano, which is the only instrument I can play. I'm probably not the best person in the world to review this drum because I'm just a beginner.The accessories are good quality - the bag it comes in is very sturdy, well made and quite nice. There is a small plastic piece that is shown in many of the photos, and I received it, but there is no mention of it in the instructions, so I'm not positive what it's for? I believe it's meant to be a stand, but if so, that's not the greatest thing ever. It doesn't really hold the drum upright very well; it's more like a balancing act. But I could be wrong about it's use. The cord wrap thing around the drum adds a cool look to it, but it doesn't stay on very well. It's constantly slipping off and a bit of a pain.Lastly, and the only thing I really don't like about the drum, are the numbered stickers for the notes. Instead of an actual sticker, mine are like number cutouts that they have adhered to a small piece of tape and then taped to the drum itself. So there's a lovely gold colored number with an ugly square piece of tape just stuck to the drum all over each of the notes. I'm not sure why they didn't just get number stickers, they aren't hard to come by. I haven't tried to take the tape off, but I might replace those numbers myself because I can't stand the look of them. It really detracts from the beauty of the instrument. I have it displayed on top of my piano and it looks great. Maybe someday I'll figure out how to play more than just "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on it, haha.

Such a cool steel tongue drum with a pleasant sound to it. I ordered it for the kids, to let them explore it. Though it actually is rather loud and perhaps too nice for them to abuse, hence I might keep it for myself to practice on.
