 Naaaahhhh!! I wouldn't recommend this one! January 4, 2006

When we initially pulled this out the box, I was excited becaue it was crafted so well! Real wood and excellent craftsmanship - HOWEVER - the sound absolutely sucks! It sounds like Elmo's toy piano, or even worse. I thought it was just the fact that the piano was sitting flat on the floor (I hadn't installed the legs yet), and the sound was just off. By the time I got everything assembled, the disappointment settled in even deeper. This piano was not worth the price I paid for it - by any stretch of the imagination. I realize this is a TOY and not an instrument; but again, for the money, you'd expect a better sounding product. An added note: my daughter LOVES banging on it!

I bought this for my god-daughter for Christmas. I actually thought that I was ordering a Schoenhut baby grand, but for some reason I ended up with this.
Anyway, it is not a piano. It is a toy, it doesn't sound like a piano, it doesn't play like a piano. It just looks like one and that is about it.
Metal rods for the sound, doesn't sound good at all. You hit one key and get multiple notes with very little clarity. And I have to pound on some of the keys to get it to work well or have a clear sound.
All in all, I really wish I could return this item get my money back and spend the another 40-50 dollars on a Schoenhut or other good brand of childrens piano. But the day I received it and checked to see if I could return it I could not.
I got ripped off. By something else people, this technically isn't even a string instrument...and definatley won't really help in teaching a child music in my opinion.
 For Budding Baby Mozarts December 4, 2005

I am a music teacher, and I purchased this toy fror 3 of my friend's children. I had one similar to it as a baby. Perhaps it will inspire them as it did me. It looks great and plays well for a toy. It's also a great prop for portraits of your "Budding Baby Mozarts" on their first real instrument.
 Good piano but the stool breaks easily October 24, 2003

I bought this last Christmas for my three year old and five year old. Thesound of the piano is a little off, but all in all the piano is nice for the price. The leg of the stool breaks very easily. Don't buy unless you can fix.
Good product for the price! March 10, 2003

My wife and I knew we wanted to get a toy piano for our little girl, and struggled somewhat with what brand and price range to stick with. I'm glad to have come across this little jewel! Our girl, though only one year old now, plays with it frequently, and likes to hear other people play it. When she's hiding somewhere or getting into mischief, I'll just hit a few keys and she'll come crawling out of wherever she was hiding to join me.Keep in mind this is a *TOY* piano--don't expect a grand piano sound out of a toy. This utilizes small metal rods of varying lengths in the interior of the instrument to produce the sound, which is a clear, pleasant tinkling; much like a windchime. One note was a bit sour, but I solved this by removing the top cover (4 screws), and adjusting the appropriate metal rod. These slide back and forth with gentle pressure, so it is possible to tune the instrument perfectly. The legs of the piano and stool can loosen over time, but you can easily solve this with a couple drops of loc-tite solution. There are more well-known name brands and better workmanship out there, but I'm glad not to have spent more than was necessary for a decent quality instrument.
