"BUYER BEWARE"
The Wuhan Koi Ride that i purchased was great while it lasted. However, Wuhan is manufacturing these rides to fail. The hammering on the bell is done in such a way that it weakens the structure around the hammer points, causing inevitable sracks to the bell from regular use. Wuhan only offers a two-month warranty, so when these cracks develop, you are SOL. Mine lasted 11 months before the cracks began to affect the sound and playability.
