Ours has been one of the most beloved active-indoor toys we've come across. Steadily used for over 3.5yrs now, by 2 different children (from ages 2-6) and it still brings lots of laughs and excitement, not to mention lots and lots of movement!

We've had no volume issues (turned up inside the battery compartment, as others have mentioned), nor any senstivity problems (and we've adjusted for use on hardwoods and carpet). A favorite that I'd buy again without hesitation.

I have been reading all the experiences with this and wanted to chime in. We have had our Musini for nearly 6 years now. The volume is quite loud when you adjust it... and for sensitivity... when the air conditioning unit kicks on, or when the heat comes on it sets it off. We just have to remember to turn it off so it does't turn on in the middle of the night.

My kids love it, and love bouncing off the furniture to make it play. I have several of the additional cassettes which offers a variety. The only drawback I have is it has to be on our second floor... the playroom has a cement floor which is not condusive to vibration needs.

I have wanted to buy a Musini for my son for a few years now, but never found one in a retail store, online or local. I recently gave in and bought one gently used on eBay for a fantastic price including the cartridge. My entire family LOVES it, including my 2-year-old son. It was very easy to figure out how to use, even without a manual. On the battery case are very clear, easy to follow instructions on how to calibrate the sensitivity of your Musini. Within minutes we had found the perfect setting for our carpeted living room and we were all dancing. Even my parents who came to visit one night were bopping to the Musini! My dad couldn't keep his feet still, insisting on drumming them on the floor constantly to keep the music going when my toddler had taken a seat to rest for a minute. I have found myself taking it out during my son's nap time to put near me while I do the mundane chores around the house. It is really addicting and keeps us all moving!

I can't say enough good things about this toy. The music quality is absolutely wonderful and is clear and crisp and a joy to listen to. You also tend to feel like you are actually playing an instrument when you're dancing around or even sitting on the floor tapping your fingers. The songs are mostly familiar and well-loved songs that you will instantly recognize. I have also noticed that you can use the Musini to up your child's physical activity. If you change the sensitivity so that they must jump or stomp hard, you suddenly have an even greater outlet for energy and a great source of exercise! You can, of course, adjust the sensitivity so that a single finger tap across the room will register. It's up to you, and I think it's fantastic! Highly recommended!

It was amusing how it reacts to the rhythm of every person walking through the room, but I was amazed at how quickly this novelty wore off for the little girl who supposedly loved to dance. Maybe it was Christmas overload. Part of the problem was it was too quiet, until I discovered a way to turn up the volume (I think it was in the battery compartment or somewhere on the bottom).

Our 3 year old granddaughter is full of spunk and needed an outlet since they have no yard. This toy is enjoyed by their whole family! Since they live above an older woman, they are careful with the settings, tho.

Enjoy!
