Although it is actually intended for children, I bought it to learn and play children's songs with my mum in the old people's home. It's perfect for this because the colour coding makes it easy to identify the notes. But I'm particularly impressed by the sound quality, because it sounds really good! The notes are clear, without clanking, well tuned and pleasant. I was really pleasantly surprised. The sound box is made of plastic and not wood, but I don't think that's a major drawback. This anniversary edition is the same as the normal Sonor BWG glockenspiel, just with thicker mallets, which is nice, but this means they no longer fit into the holders on the soundbox. All in all though, I would highly recommend to purchase this.
