Great quality; love the design. While it say's it's for "Children" I think drummers and non-drummers of multiple ages would enjoy it. That being said, I'm not sure I'd buy it for a 3 year old, but a little older child (and adults) would enjoy it. Just because I feel you should be able to appreciate the different tones and qualities -- depending on how you hold/hit it -- it produces. It's heftier and more solid than what I was expecting, and has a nice sound. And I do own other Aklot products (Ukulele) so I did have a somewhat high expectation in terms of quality, and I was not disappointed. I like the hand-painted design on the side. And that's one bit of my feedback feedback (not negative nor positive) is that what design you receive is random. Some may enjoy the element of surprise, while others may want a specific pattern/color to match their other gear. I like mine, and didn't mind not knowing, but just putting that out there. Also, having some sort of small book/manual included would be nice. How to hold it, what differentiates the Djembe from other African drums, etc. I know some people ignore manuals, but I have a little manual that came with a Mbira (not Aklot) and I appreciate some of those basic bits of info.
