Introduce a classic musical element to your collection with this vintage Taiyo Melody Xylophone, a vibrant example of mid-century Japanese toy craftsmanship. Measuring 8 1/2 inches in length, this instrument features a sturdy red wooden frame supporting eight tuned metal bars. Each bar is color-coded and clearly labeled with its corresponding musical note and number to help young learners master basic scales and melodies.
This set is exceptionally well-preserved and includes three original wooden mallets with red striking tips. Also included is the original yellow music sheet, which features whimsical illustrations of a cartoon elephant, mouse, and pig playing instruments together—a signature aesthetic for Taiyo toys of this era. The xylophone remains in very good condition and works perfectly, producing clear, bright tones. While the original box is included, it shows signs of previous use and storage wear that reflect its long history. It is an ideal gift for collectors of tin-litho and wooden toys or for use as a charming decorative piece in a nursery or music room.
This item is vintage, over 50 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
