Is The Schoenhut 30 Key Fancy Baby Grand Worth Buying?

The first thing any parent will notice about this piano is how stylish and realistic it looks. It comes with a glossy finish, curved legs and a bench that's just the right height for your toddler (though check the dimensions carefully, as some parents claim it's a little too small for ages 5+). Thankfully, however, it's made to be durable, which means that it'll probably be used by many generations of children. This elegant design does come at a price, however, as you might expect. This is more than some parents are willing to pay, especially given the fact that this baby grand doesn't sound like a real piano. As the manufacturer states, the keys make more of a “chime” sound, and are not completely in tune (nor can they be tuned like a regular piano).

In general, however, most parents are happy with the quality of the piano when they understand that it is a toy. It's more stylish than most other toy pianos you'll find on the market, and you get a number of useful accessories, too. These include the bench as well as a color co-ordinated strip to teach children the notes and an accompanying songbook.

Schoenhut claim that the keys on their baby grand are the same size as you'll find on a regular piano, however many parents have stated that they are, in fact, smaller. This can lead to some concerns about the usefulness of learning on a keyboard and then moving onto a full-sized piano, where the finger stretches etc. will be different. However, this really shouldn't be a concern. Pianists will know that it's possible to learn on smaller keyboards and move on to full-sized keys later on: it just takes a little adjustment.

The 30 note, 2 octave, span on the keyboard gives children more than enough room to come out with a variety of different tunes, giving them an excellent basis for future musical study. Even if they're not yet at the age where they can play something recognizable, many toddlers have hours of fun making noise with the keys, or “playing along” to other music.

In short, the Schoenhut 30 Key Fancy Baby Grand is an extremely well put together toy piano. You can't expect it to sound to like a real piano, but it does a great job for what it is. It's also very easy to put together, and will look great in any play room! This is a product that your family will be able to treasure for generations.
