Review: Great Quality Abacus for Mental Arithmetic Practice - Excellent abacus for mental math practice. We bought it for our daughter, and she has already had two classes using this abacus. The quality is very good: the beads move smoothly, nothing gets stuck, and the construction feels sturdy. Her mental arithmetic teacher also approved it and mentioned that it meets the standard for learning. The size is comfortable for a child to use. Fast delivery and the item arrived well packaged. Very satisfied with the purchase and would definitely recommend it for children studying mental math.
Review: Excellent design and very good quality - I am very pleasantly surprised by the build quality of this inexpensive abacus. It's feels very solid and works well. I'm also very pleased with some of the design considerations that went into this model: The brass bars contrast well with the black beads making it easier to quickly read the results. having a lighter colored bead at the top of every third column makes it easier to keep track of which place value you're at. I also appreciate that the pins placed for the decimal/comma place holders are positioned between the columns, rather than in-line, just like you would write the commas/decimal between the numbers when writing the numbers out. The beads are also good sized; big enough to easily manipulate, but not so big so as to be inefficient. This may not be an ultra-fancy display piece, but it is a very functional, well built and attractive abacus to learn with.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do the beads stay in place when you move them ?**
A: The device has rubber feet, which keep it securely in place.  The beads are very easy to maneuver, and will stay where you put them.  I found a great set of tutorials on YouTube that made learning to use the abacus lots of fun.

**Q: are the beads in the abacus plastic or wooden?  if they are wooden, do they have lead free paint?  where is it made?**
A: Hi, the beads are made of wood. This abacus is made in China. The paint is not lead free however the amount is well below safety standard.

**Q: Does this come with a guide?**
A: I don't remember getting a guide with the abacus itself, but I ordered one at the same time and found it helpful. I got "Learn to do Math with Soroban, a Japanese abacus" from SAI Speed Math Academy.

**Q: Will this make me better smrt?**
A: Mental gymnastics are the key to preventing Alzheimer and Dementia.
Better smart, no. Smart longer, yes. But you have to practice it and play it like a game.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for the money, quality is so-so.
*by B***L on August 28, 2017*

This is a decent soroban for the price. It is a good deal larger than a standard Japanese soroban, and thus may be better for large-handed folks or those simply not used to fiddling with little beads. The finish a little rough: you can tell this thing was meant to reach a price point. Inner wood surfaces are not varnished/treated the same, and the fittings are cheap sheet metal. That said, the beads are smooth, consistent enough, and the clearing mechanism works well enough. The beads aren't exactly all the same size, so the clearing bar can't quite push every bead clear perfectly, but it's enough for practical use. I also had to tighten down a couple screws on the clearing mechanism by hand: they simply weren't driven in all the way out of the box. Finish and detail aside, this soroban is very sturdy, and seems like it could take a good deal of punishment. I could see this being the soroban at a cash register in a market. I wish the brown beads that mark unit columns was a little lighter: in some lighting it's hard to differentiate it from the black ones. If you're just getting into learning a soroban, this would be a fine choice. The beads are heavy and satisfying, and the rubber feet and sheer weight mean it stays put on a table. Someone unfamiliar with using a soroban may find the standard-sized ones too small. I would NOT get this soroban if you're looking for an "authentic" Japanese soroban. The smaller, black-framed, brown-bead soroban is the "standard" size and design. This is more like a Chinese abacus made in the style of soroban. If you're going to transport your abacus (say, to school), you may also want to look for a smaller, lighter one.
