Melissa & Doug Learn-to-Play Piano with 25 Keys and Color-Coded Songbook Toy Piano Kids, Toddler Toys for Ages 3+

I had reviewed this toy initially as not being worth the money, but let me tell you, Melissa and Doug delivered! I called them to tell them about the sound that the keys were making and the shaky top, and they were so awesome about it, that they replaced the piano! Their customer service blew me away! I cannot say enough about how friendly and helpful they were. To top it off, the piano came in no time at all, and sounds FANTASTIC! True notes and very sturdy, so much so that baby tries to climb on it now! Thank you, thank you, thank you to Melissa and Doug! Please see below for my initial review. In reading the reviews I thought this would be a good buy, but when I received it and opened it up on Xmas morning, I noticed that the top of the piano is a little shaky and loose. Not only that, but the sounds the piano makes are totally dissonant. This is disappointing because this was his "music Christmas"; I had also gotten him various other musical instruments. This was supposed to be the really special present, but he likes the cheap generic bongos better even than this. I am enormously disappointed by this piano.

My son loves music. I was looking for a gift for him for his 1st birthday. I had seen this at a toy store for a much higher price, so I came home and looked on Amazon, and I found this for a great price. I cannot say enough about this little piano. It is perfect for little fingers. It can also withstand little hands that my play the keys too hard. When my son first saw this, he couldn't contain his excitement. He loved the bright colors and playing the keys. There are two full octaves on this piano. The sound quality is pretty good, some of the keys can get stuck, but they easily release. This also comes with a little songbook. This will be great to help teach my son to read and play music when he gets older. I know that this is a product that we will be using for many, many years to come. I love Melissa and Doug products. They are well made, and they don't include annoying lights or robotic sounds. I see myself buying another bigger version in the future when my sons balance is good enough to sit on something unassisted. This is perfect size for a sitting infant/toddler. This was a great value and seems to be well worth my money. I highly recommend this product.

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.

My 2yr old daughter saw this in a toy store and begged for it for months for her 3rd birthday. We thought the novelty would wear off, but she continued to ask for this piano every time anyone asked her what she wanted. This was one of the first gifts she opened and she immediately wanted it out of the packaging so she could play a little tune. Then, after she opened each gift, she would stop and go back to the piano and play a little excited for her gift tune. It was so funny. She's had it for over 2 months and she still plays with it pretty much everyday. She doesn't get how to play the songs yet, but she enjoys sitting and listening to my attempts at playing the songs. After reading some reviews, I'm careful to not carry it by its top, but honestly, I have found it to be very sturdy. Nothing has broken and all the keys work. One key on the end kinda sticks, but overall it is a fantastic little piano. My daughter is very rough with her toys and has not harmed this piano at all.

This piano looks nice and is very sturdy. I like the feel of pressing the keys. They have a nice spring to them. This is great as a gift for a children's first exposure to musical composition of any sort, as long as you're not too concerned with them learning how to read actual music. There is a music book with only little letters within circles placed on the bars, not actual whole, half, quarter, etc. notes to indicate how long to hold each note for. They are all familiar nursery rhymes, though, so that my children ages 4-8 have all figured out how to play it varying degrees of success. It is not well tuned, though, and the sound is quite "plinky" more like a children's toy than a musical instrument. The notes definitely move from lower to higher, so you can recognizes any songs you try to play. If you're not too picky on sound, I would recommend this. If a tunable or well-tuned machine is a priority to you, you should not buy this.

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.

I've just recently started purchasing Melissa and Doug products. (My son tends to be a bit rough on his toys so I mostly opt for the cheaper, less costly to replace options). Some of their products, like their puzzles and the kids table, are sturdy and well made so I was expecting this piano to be of the same quality, boy was I wrong. This things is, I'm sorry to say, junk. It sounds horrible, nothing like a real piano. Pretty much exactly like a xylophone. Most of the keys stay depressed unless you pull them back up with a finger. The keys also wobble quite a bit. After my kids played with it for less than 5 minutes I decided this wasn't at all what I wanted for them so I picked it up to put away until I could return it. As I set it down, I noticed the upper left screw in the back was about 3/4 of the way out already. I pushed it back in with very little forced which isn't really a good thing. All in all, I would have given it two stars if the age recommendation would have been for 6+ months since all this thing is good for is a baby to bang on but since it says it's for 3+ ( which was another factor when I bought it since my son will be 3 in two months) I cannot justify giving this product anything higher than one star. I hate writing bad reviews however I feel the consumer should be aware of what they are getting. With that being said, if you are looking for a little piano that sounds slightly better than the musical plastic ones, and something to teach your child how to position their hands to play a real piano and nothing more than this might work for you. On the other hand, if you are looking fora study product and something that will actually teach your child the sound of notes this is absolutely not it.

While it is recommended for 3 and up my 1 year old grandson loves it. Started playing on it immediately. Sturdy enough for the banging of a very young toddler. Rounded corners means that risk of injury falling into it is less from a sharp edge. A high quality toy like all of Melissa & Doug products.

Does not sound like a piano at all. At best it's a fancy xylophone. The colour coded guide for the keys is flimsy and does not last a week.

Buena calidad y sonido el tamaño es muy chico, un niño de 3 años se tiene que sentar para tocarlo y ni así esta cómodo

I'm a guy who doesn't have kids. I wanted to buy something not perfect but have a soul. I've seen many toys tossed into the garbage after a few uses. This particular piano seems traditional and handcrafted. The colors vibrant and even though the keys sounds like tinkerbell's.... that's the magic to a young child's ears. The toy can be a decor for the child's room for many years to come and I want you to think about something. Imagine that toy is still sitting on a teenager bedroom shelves as a memory of someone dear to them.
