*by A***R on 19 June 2015*

Super cute. Don't expect to get much of a sound out of it - there's no bass at all, and the treble is clean but quiet - but it makes a really pretty desk toy.

*by Z***I on 9 March 2016*

It's just too small. Trust me. But good for decor or as trophies for those who love Darbuk!

### ⭐⭐ Looks much better in the pics
*by M***N on 17 November 2016*

Looks much better in the pics. Isnt as good quality as you would expect from Meinl. The tone is a poor and "tinny". I'll admit I wasn't expecting a whole lot considering the price, but even so unfortunately it has disappointed. An average aesthetic piece at best.
