The musical flute toy is extremely quiet, to the point that it can hardly be heard. If I am playing with anything less than maximum instrument volume, I can barely hear it. Also, if I am playing my flute and CAN hear it, I will hear a distant (1200+ range) harp player at a louder level of volume than my flute. It makes it almost impossible to play the flute at a comfortable hearing level, without making the harp and bell instruments an uncomfortable/painful level of volume.
