My daughter(age 5) loves this toy. The color-note learning method worked perfectly with her. Now she plays songs that she self learnt from the method everyday. Great introduction to discover the fun of playing music. Only reason I did not give 5 star was the sound. It will sound like a toy piano, not like a real piano.
Rating: 4 / 5
I actually am very disappointed in the piano. Too small for 3-5. My twin granddaughters fall constantly off the seat. The sound coming from it is so piercing and tinny, was really surprised how horrible it sounds.

I was reluctant to buy this toy piano because the reviews were a bit poor. I went ahead and bought it anyway, since it appeared to be only a slightly modified design of the other Schoenhut Pianos that got great reviews.
This was one of the best gifts I ever gave my 2 year old daughter. She loves it, and so do I. Its a toy so it doesn’t sound like a regular piano, but it actually creates a nice fullness to the toy notes that do come out. I even recognized its sound from some movie soundtracks that have used it. The volume of the notes is loud enough, but not too loud. The craftsmanship is really quality, and feels like it comes from a company that has made them since the 19th century (except for the plastic keys, but they’re passable).
Its the only keyboard she’s ever been interested in, and she sits down and plays it regularly. There is no limit to how many notes you can play at once like cheap electronic keyboards, and they have the sharp and flat notes working too, so I can play songs she recognizes.
Plus the company must of read the complaints about the holes for the music stand. They are now plugged up enough that things won’t fall into the piano cavity anymore if you don’t use the music stand. You can tell there was a lot of love put into this design.
I bought this piano as a Christmas gift for my 5 year old daughter who absolutely loves music. After my husband put it together on Christmas Eve, we had to try it out (of course). We began pressing keys and no noise came out. We figured there was something keeping it from playing (i.e. batteries or one of those removable pieces of plastic). We then figured out that you had to just bang on the keys. We had to hit the keys so hard to make any noise come out that I thought we would break it and/or wake the kids up. Half of the black keys make no noise at all and 4 of the white keys get stuck when you press them. I am so disappointed in this gift as it was intended to be her “big gift” from Santa. Now I have to send it back and my daughter will be heartbroken that she no longer has it. I am thankful that she really likes it but she can’t play it and if I keep it, it will be a $100 piece of furniture that merely LOOKS like a toy piano. My money would have been much better spent on a regular keyboard.

The white piano was given to my 2 year old daughter by her grandparents for Christmas. It is very beautiful but the keys sound a little strange and you have to press them hard to even make a sound, causing my daughter to pound on them. The music stand can easily be broken because it is so delicate so I had to take it off until she is older. A little chunk of enamel broke off on the first day because she was taking the music stand off and putting it back on. Also, if the child sticks something in the slot where the music stand goes, it will be lost forever because you cannot take it apart. Overall, it is a decent piano and looks good in her room, but I think there are some design flaws that need to be addressed if they are going to ask for so much money.
