It is a children's toy, but should sound in tune as all the chords are not the same but it's to the magnitude of a professional instrument

Are the 8 colored keys/bars made of metal or wood?

The 8 colored keys are metal. They are attached to the wood base with a plastic insert and plastic rivets.

Where is the xylophone manufactured?

If you need to ask, it’s probably not the toy for you

K**N

As my wife convinces me that Melissa & Doug are the superior children's toy brand, I decided to take it upon meself to replace the pile of steamy crap that is the blessed Xylophone from some unknown family member. So looking up amazon for Melissa & Doug Xylophones, I clicked buy without second thought, TRUSTING HER BLINDLY. To my surprise, while the build quality of this toy is fantastic, with strong rubust mallets and thick wood and metal keys (to be fair nothing could be worse in comparison to the splintering excuse of sushi chopsticks wrapped in rebar shavings of my son's previous toy), I have an Eb, Fb, and a G# on this toy. WHAT, may I ask, is the point of this well-produced out-of-tune toy? My son is going to be playing with this through his young, impressionable age and grow up to sing a demented minor key version of the ABC song! If he develops perfect pitch, it'd be perfectly off key. So, yay to toy, nay for musical accuracy. I give 3/5, which is slightly better than 4/7, the number of accurate keys on the Xylophone I received.
