This guitar plays a very nice range of fun and groovy music and it is not too loud. My daughter (aged 2 and a half) loves it and finds it easy to use. Prior to this I had purchased a cheaper alternative (not from Amazon) but it was far too loud and its tunes were awful. I'm so glad I chose this one as a replacement - it was well worth the extra money. I think the description mentioned a volume control but I have not found this feature. Nevertheless, we haven't found the need for one as it the volume is just right.
