Looks cute but sounds horrible
By A Customer
This little red piano looked very cute. I thought a real mechanical piano would be a much nicer musical toy than an electronic keyboard for my 3 year old, so I ordered it. Boy, was I dissapointed when it arrived. First, it is very cheaply built, using the lowest grade particle-board for the case. And it was so out of tune that it was not even possible to play the simplest children's songs using this piano. I don't recommend this piano for anybody who actually wants to utilize it as a musical education toy.

We love our piano
By A Customer
Grandma bought the kids one of those new-fangled contraptions where you arrange blocks to hear Mozart's Night Music played a million different ways...with Grandma's blessing we returned the technical monstrosity and got this piano. We don't regret it. It's fairly well made--although we have a key or two that likes to stick and get out of tune. That's easily remedied. Just turn the piano over and adjust the metal rods in the back a bit until it's back in tune. Ours appears to be well made. We've had it for a year and a half, and it has taken its share of banging. Our youngest loves pianos, and he plays on this almost every day. The sound is very pleasant, unlike most toy electronic keyboards which are all the rage. I would recommend this piano if you want a musical toy which will give your child pleasure for several years, and then you can save it for the next generation.

Hooked on Schoenhut
By A Customer
I have been buying Schoenhut toy pianos for kids and grandkids over the past 10-12 years ... starting the wee ones with My First Piano, then graduating to the larger models as the children grow. I have checked out other manufacturers, but have found nothing that compares with the quality (sound AND workmanship) of Schoenhut. One time I called the company with a special request for additional song books, actually talked with a REAL person there, without having to go through dozens of menu options. They mean what they say "100% customer satisfaction." Thanks, Schoenhut, for affordable, educational, and wonderful musical instruments.
Product Description
My First Piano Children's Piano - 18 Key. A small toy piano designed especially for the very young who have reached the exploratory stage from infancy, sitting on someone's lap in front of the keyboard, up to toddler age. Lovely chime-like notes are produced by little hammers striking steel music rods. After striking a key, often by accident, children become mesmerized with the sound. The width of the keys promotes proper finger placement, enabling an easy transition to a larger piano. The Schoenhut "My First Piano" is always a huge hit as a baby shower gift. Whether for a holiday, special occasion, or just for fun, the Schoenhut 18 key piano will encourage a child on the path to music. Includes the Schoenhut Learning System. Assembly required. Recommended for ages 3+. Dimensions: 12" L x 10.5" W x 11.5" H; 7 lbs.
