It is very educational to teach music and sounds. Now the older girls fight over who gets to take a bath with the 3 year old and play with her in the tub.
The reason to plug your ears? My 3 year old is constantly playing the flutes, in and out of the tub. Even though she doesn't have water in them when they are out of the tub, that doesn't stop her from walking around the house tooting her horns.
The good... so many different notes that can be created by adding and removing the water. Very easy for small children to use. Comes with coated music cards that will stick to the tub when wet. Great learning tool. All my girls age 3-14 love it and have fun.
The bad... make sure you teach your child to keep the flute tipped down. If they tip it up, they get flooded from the water flowing out. The foam stand is cheap and doesn't work the greatest. Parts of the stickers for the letters were peeled when I took it out of the box. I had to hot glue some of the corners and sides down.
Overall, my daughter is happy, so I am happy. Just have to get some ear plugs! :)
Down side: The labels on the flutes are stickers. So if you want them to stay on you need to take really good care of them. Mine aren't old enough to play the songs so the music sheets aren't used, but they love wetting them and sticking them on the tub wall!
If they leave the valve at the bottom unscrewed the flute fills with water quickly when submerged and it becomes a fun slide whistle if they blow as the water runs out the bottom. My kids LOVE the change in pitch as they blow!
Super great purchase!

Nice addition is that my older kids get to understand how a note is built based on space in the cylinder.
Feels sturdy so it should not break anytime soon.
Nice touch to have something to hold them together, prevents clutter in the bathroom as well
