the size of an adult piano, this new model is designed with the three-to-nine-year-old in mind. Not just a toy, it is a fine musical instrument and beautiful piece of furniture as well. Unsurpassed in quality, pitch, and durability, each Baby Grand is crafted entirely by hand and individually tuned.

The lovely toy-piano sound is what makes the Schoenhut charming and unique. Schoenhut's patented Learning System, with its play-by-color teaching method, is designed to make playing fun and easy. 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. Materials: Hardwood and hardboard. Recommended ages three to nine.
