 Wonderful Toy... February 14, 2007

I purchased this piano for my one-year-old niece, who loves music. It has quickly become one of her favorite toys, which will no doubt provide entertainment for her for years to come.
The bright colors are adorable and the sound quality is pretty darn good for a toy. Highly recommend!

We got this piano for our two boys (4 & 2-1/2) to help them begin to learn how to play music. This piano makes it so easy for them with the colored key code that fits above the keys so that they can follow along with the music book. The look on their faces as they play (and sing along) with the songs is absolutely adorable!
For us, we found the sound of the piano to be fine - no issues. One nice thing is that it's just loud enough...if you know what I mean. This keeps them occupied for hours on end.
Five stars for this purchase - you won't be disappointed with this piano...and your kids will love it!!!

This was a Christmas present for my 2.8 year old and was a big hit. He really loves music and my husband is a good piano player so it is a good start to learn his first steps into piano. I really like that is a traditional little piano, not complicated, not electric, just what a little kid needs, and I also think this is a really good brand for wooden toys.
Just a tip... April 16, 2010

I checked this thing out in a toy store...Didnt buy it yet only because the kid's not even born. I do plan to encourage music so I'm looking at whats out there. This one seems like a good choice. Its colorful, but not overstimulating...as one reviewer said of another toy, " it doesn't scream cheap plastic kids toy" which you may or may not find important. I do, because I wonder if most kids (or even some adults) even know what wood is anymore.
Why I think this one is better. It's wood, it's heavy (compared to the plastic ones) and it acts like a real piano, which is what you want from a toy like this. Others I've seen seem to do everything EXCEPT act like a piano. There are no batteries, and doesnt blast annoying electronic tunes at the touch of any random key. One key, one note, and the kid has to work for the song. Too many toys today do everything for the kids. I'll still get some electronic toys, and even one of the annoying electronic pianos, but lets face it, the more a toy entertains, the less it can teach.
On to my big tip...i see alot of reviewers complaining about the screws falling out. from the one i saw, it looks like a possibility, but no sign of it on that particular one. But if it DOES happen, just put the screw back in with a drop of elmers glue on the threads and get over it. It's nontoxic, and, frankly, if your child is more interested in licking glue out of the screw holes than experimenting with the sounds then you are probably not raising a musical prodigy anyway. Try some chef toys instead.
Wonderful for the budding musician! March 13, 2008

I had heard great things about Melissa & Doug toys and was not let down with this little piano. We bought it for our 2.5 year-old who loves to bang away at people's pianos. It has provided much entertainment and is worth every penny. Another reviewer commented on the sound. Sure, it's not perfectly on par with a real piano, but I think it's pretty darn great for no bigger than it is. I think you can only expect so much from a toy, and this one exceeded my expectations! I also have not had any durability issues, but it was made clear to my daughter from day one that she wasn't to pick it up and move it around because I didn't want her to drop it and ruin it, though it is quite sturdy. I also don't let her sit or climb on it, though it looks like it would hold her with no problem.
