| Product Description: |
18 Keys, Model 1822 Chromatically tuned, the lovely chime-like notes are produced by little hammers striking precision-ground, German steel music rods (versus the conventional taut wires used in full-sized models). Schoenhut's patented Learning System, with its play-by-color teaching method, makes playing simple and fun. A removable color strip fits behind the keys to guide small fingers from chord to chord. The chart also works on adult keyboards, since keys on Schoenhut toy pianos are of corresponding width. This teaches children proper "finger stretch" from the very beginning. The accompanying Songbook contains a collection of familiar tunes. This Learning System has been specially designed to build a child's confidence and develop basic playing skills. Winner of the Parenting Media Awards.

During 1872 in Germany, Albert Schoenhut fashioned a toy piano for his landlord's daughter. Word of the beautiful little instrument spread, requests poured in, and the Schoenhut Piano Company came into being. Albert later emigrated to the United States and expanded the business to include dolls, circus figures, toys, and other musical instruments. Albert's vintage toys have stood the test of time. They are avidly sought by collectors and can be found on exhibit at prestigious museums throughout the world. Over the years, the Schoenhut factory has been located in various cities throughout the United States. In 1994, Frank Trinca of Rochester NY purchased the company and re-introduced a number of the early 1900's styles and models. As the business began to grow, Frank encouraged his brother Len to become involved. Len and his wife Renee of St. Augustine, Florida, aware of Schoenhut®'s prestigious reputation and Frank's progress with the company, jumped at the chance. After traveling back and forth for five years between Rochester and St. Augustine, they moved the entire contents of the factory (including a number of employees) from NY to a newly renovated facility at 6480 US 1 North in St. Augustine. Schoenhut pianos are not simply small replicas of real pianos. They are authentic musical instruments that emit rich chime-like tones, making the sound unique. Each piano is chromatically tuned, educating the ear of a beginning musician. In addition, the spacing between keys is the same as that on a full-sized piano, teaching proper finger placement. The "tried and true" models (1-1/2 to 3 octaves) are still produced, i.e., a wide range from My First Piano for very wee folk right up through to Baby Grands for more advanced players. New designs and colors are also offered each year. Of great excitement in the world of toy pianos is Schoenhut's new 44-key, 4-octave baby grand. This model is based on a prototype found in the Schoenhut archives from decades past. |

Average Customer Review:   Write an online review and share your thoughts with other customers. Melanie M. from Hamilton, NJI love it! Michelle D. from Woodmere, New YorkI purchased this piano for my 15 month old granddaughter. I was amazed at the workmanship of this truly beautiful instrument. From the pink finish to the sound of the keyboard, this "real" piano was first rate. It was a miniature version of expensive one's that you see on display in showrooms. My granddaughter loves it and I am so glad to have introduced her to playing piano at an early age. There are toy's out there that cost far more than I paid for this piece of "furniture". Dvora D. from San Diego, CAThe piano is absolutely darling and the sound is great! My baby loves it!  Dina B. from Monmouth Junction, NJI bought this as a gift for my 2 year old daughter. For the price, I would say it's worth the money. I thought it might sound a little less "clanky" and more like a regular piano but it is small and IS a toy. My daughter LOVES it. It is durable and easily portable. Not too heavy to lug around and she loves being able to perform for our friends and family. I'd say definitely a great product and well worth the money. |
