Editorial Review :
There’s nothing like watching small children fall in love with music. This baby grand will play Cupid to a toddler’s relationship to music. Just the right size for little fingers, with bright colors, lights, and familiar songs and learning concepts; kids will need no introduction before getting in there and starting to tickle those ivories! Three modes of play encourage children to enjoy music, learn basic concepts (alphabet, counting, opposites, etc.), or just play notes and chords on the eight-key keyboard. A plastic songbook (built into the piano) uses numerals on musical notation to teach aspiring musicians the correlation between the sounds they hear, the notes on the page, and the keys on the keyboard. Slides and buttons and dials can be manipulated to adjust tempo, pitch, and style, while a metronome keeps time. And a friendly maestro monster looms over the piano, dancing as your artiste creates composes her or his opuses. The music, as with so many children’s toys, is moderately unpleasant—nursery rhymes meet lounge jazz—but not the worst you’ll ever hear. And the joy toddlers will get out of playing their own melodies, as well as the potential for learning, far outweighs the burden of listening to cheesy tunes. Or you can just keep it in note-playing mode, and skip the pre-recorded tunes altogether! Three "C" batteries required (not included). Some adult assembly is required. --Emilie Coulter

KEYS DON'T WORK
When my piano was three weeks old, the green key started working intermittently. I called Fisher Price customer service @ 888 892-6123. They asked where and when I purchased the item, and for numbers off the bottom of the piano. They are kindly sending me a pre-paid return label for a new piano. A little inconvenient, but at least they stand behind their products!! NOTE: Something I learned, was if the "BLUE" key is not working properly, it means change the batteries.


12 Month Old Loves It
I got this for my daughter's 1st birthday and she loves it! She plays with it everyday. When her baby and toddler friends come over, they all gather around the piano and dance.
In regards to the comments about the piano being easily turned over, I think it all depends on the temperment of the baby or toddler. My daughter does not turn it over but her 12 month old friend does.


Wonderful toy
This is a bright and colorful piano that is a favorite of my grand daughters.


My 12-month-old LOVES this piano
I found this piano used in a consignment shop and bought it for my 12-month-old. She absolutely loves it and uses her pointer fingers to play the keys. I never knew that babies could be so creative on a keyboard! She is entertained with the piano for quite some time - she will play in free mode for a bit, then we switch to learning mode or music mode and she will circle the piano, trying all the different features, then back to free mode again. She just loves it. She will play with her fingers and dance at the same time. A great buy - I hope that Fisher Price starts making them again.


Love the baby grand piano.
This piano is great. As others have mentioned, there are multiple different modes for your child to play in. One is music mode, in which the piano plays different songs when the keys are pressed, and as the song plays the keys light up in the order they should be played. I'm pretty sure it'll be a long time until my son (only 6 months old right now) will appreciate this feature, but I think it's pretty neat that it actually teaches the song. The songs are also written out on the pages that the child can turn, which is nice too. The second mode is learning mode, in which the child can press the keys to hear the number on the key (1-8), the color of the key, and a woman singing. You have to turn the pages in order to switch between these three options in the learning mode, which took me a minute to figure out since I bought it used and didn't have directions or anything. The third mode simply allows the baby to press the keys and play. I agree with others, the sound the keys make when they are pressed is much nicer than others I have heard, especially the one I had as a child. However, I find the woman's singing voice pretty annoying, so I rarely set it to singing mode. Of course my child doesn't mind it, so I shouldn't complain too much. Overall, it's a great product, and my son loves to sit and press the buttons. I have a feeling that he will enjoy it even more when he is able to appreciate the other features it has to offer, as well as walk around it and play with the little toys on the back. Highly recommend it!
