Learn-to-Play Piano by Melissa & Doug

A real piano. Not digital. My child gets to experience playing a real piano, and that means the world to me. And the price is unbeatable for what it is. It's durable enough to have been flipped a hundred times without breaking.

My husband plays keys, so of course we got a little piano for our 14mo old to introduce him to music. But the sound quality of this piano is fabulous! We lived in a small apt for the last year, so my husband has to keep his keyboard stored in the closet. He would literally practice on this little piano or just play a line when inspiration struck. And anytime my husband played, my son would jump on his lap and they'd play together. Many sweet memories made for the 2 of them together. It has gotten a lot of use and taken quite a beating. It's not quite as in tune after a year, but for a 2 year old, it still does quite well.

Several months back I purchased this for my Grandson, but accidentally had it shipped to myself. Unfortunately he lives out of state, so it wasn't until he came to visit recently that he was finally able to play with it. His Mom had said that he loves anything musical, so I was confident that he would love this and I was right.So far I haven't found anything that I don't like about the Melissa & Doug Learn-To-Play Piano, so I'll just tell you what I do:~ Painted bright colors which kids seem to be drawn to.~ Very well constructed. It should last for many years with normal wear and tear.~ Suitable for a wide range of ages. My grandson is 18 months now, but I could definitely see him enjoying this up to ages 4-5.~ Sound is nice and not too loud. I can't say that it is in tune, but this Piano is just a toy after all.~ Reasonable at the current Amazon price, even though I purchased it for much less through a 3rd Party.In addition I would also highly recommend the Melissa & Doug 60-Piece Standard Unit Blocks for any child that likes to build and stack or the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Chomp and Clack Alligator Push Toy for little ones learning to walk.As for my grandsons piano it is packed and ready to be taken with us when we travel in December to visit him. After seeing how much he enjoyed it, he definitely deserves to have this at home with him.

I purchased this a couple weeks ago at bargain price, $35, for my 10 month old grandson. I am a piano teacher, so I am apt to be more critical than the average purchaser. Upon reading reviews of complaints about a bad paint smell, I just decided that I'd better remove the plastic from piano to allow it to air out before Christmas. Removed plastic ; no bad smell at all. Smells fine, like new toy. The keys produce a xylophone type sound, not representative of a real piano, but having proper pitches so a young child can learn interval relationships. Charming, and ideal as a first instrument. The only thing I spotted is a ding on the left front wooden piece just left side of keys ; perhaps 1/2 price due to being factory second ? However, I will put some non-toxic wood glue in the spot to protect it from breaking, and dab on a tiny bit of dark blue non toxic paint, and voila ! Not a problem. Worth $50, maybe not $70 full price. I would say it is too small for a toddler, but my baby grandson will be tickled.

It’s one of the first things he does every time he wakes up is go play his piano for a few minutes- he’s just over a year old and obsessed.I do have to say it’s the worst sounding piano ever made on this earth. But my son loves it so here we are listening to the best worst music ever haha

Small but sturdy toy piano. I purchased for my 1 year old grandson and he seems to love it. The keys are similar to a pianos keys. It is quite loud! This is not electronic and mimics a real piano. I noticed that my grandson (just learning to walk) would lean on it and I worried that it would flip but I was happily surprised that it held his weight. Would recommend.

One year old grandson loves this piano! Well made. Great deal! Packaged extremely well. Arrived without damage!

We purchased this cute little acoustic toddler piano for my grandson for a Christmas gift. I had read mixed reviews about this piano, but decided to take a chance. Unfortunately after opening it and tapping gently on the keys, we could hear that a few keys were not working correctly/broken (?). The package came very nicely boxed with lots of protection, so I can only conclude that it was either defective from the start, or became that way from being shipped. When I picked up the box to bring it in the house, after being delivered, you can hear the keys moving around very easily. It is my my opinion that whatever the keys are held in place with are defective. our grandson is only 1 year and not hard on his toys, but I have read reviews that said that their toddler banging on the keys broke them. Even though this is not our case, they should be able to withstand toddlers tapping on the keys, even if it is not so gentle. Toys are not made like they used to be. We had a little piano like this for my daughter when she was a toddler many years ago, and she banged on that frequently – – and the keys never stopped working.The little piano frame itself looks beautiful – – looks very well-made and sturdy, but unfortunately, when it comes to the mechanism of the keys , which is the main part, it’s just not worth the money. I had hoped for an acoustic piano rather than a digital one— but I’m afraid to purchase a replacement and have the same thing happen.My grandson loves this toy— even with broken keys. I hope Melissa and Doug can make sure there is better quality control on products or fix the product flaw if that’s what it is.
