We've had this discussion before -
If the parents have already bought the instrument and returning it is not an option, they should realize that most of these instruments WILL play adequately, but only for a short period of time.
However, when they eventually develop problems (as most do) they should be thought of as disposable. Usually not worth the time or money to fix.
Just like small appliances, cameras, consumer electronics, etc... this is just one more product which manufacturers have finally made as a throw away item.
Hopefully, these $100 instruments will foster a new discovery of music for children, before the frustration of their flimsy quality sets in...GBK
