Overall we love this piano. It's perfect for my home and for my child, a typical two-year-old girl who loves music. We bought ours for around $80 with free shipping (from an Amazon seller). It's positively adorable and my daughter loves sitting on the bench which is just her size, and she loves experimenting with sound.

As others have noted, this is a xylophone-piano. Rather than strings, it has rods. Presumably that is to improve durability and keep us from having to tune it. This does have a big effect on the sound, though. If sound is very important to you, you will probably need to go for an electronic keyboard, though that wouldn't have nearly the aesthetic quality in the playroom.

The look and quality of the materials are better than average for most toys (I can't compare to other children's pianos). We usually buy Melissa and Doug, Haba, Target brands, and others. I would say this compares well.

The size of the piano would fit most children aged 18 months to four years as an upper limit for comfort. I realize it says "3+" because of the testing laws for children under three, but I think that for most typical children under an adult's supervision, this is not going to present a big danger at any age.

I would not buy this piano for a child over four. Unless the child was on the small side, they would already be too big for it, or outgrow it within a year.

My little "Schroeder" is 18 months and he LOVES this toy piano. The piano itself is very cute and classic looking. It really is a miniature baby grand. The keys are easy for kids to play on and they are quite soft-sounding which is a good thing since most toddlers don't quite know the difference between playing and pounding! My kid learned to sit on the bench rather quickly and enjoys sitting and playing the keys several times a day. For a kid that tires of toys rather quickly, I'd call this toy piano a success.

Shipping was easy and fairly quick and setting up took no time at all.

Purchased this one for my 3 year old Granddaughter...She said she wanted a piano, and when we showed it to her on the computer, we asked her if she wanted the pink one or the black one. She whispered "The black one". I found that interesting..I believe she has seen a "real" piano and it must have impressed her a lot. She wanted a "real" piano. Although 2 of the keys on the higher notes tend to stick together, hopefully over time, they may settle in.. This is well made for a toy and she immediately sat down and sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and "played" her piano. She loves it..and hopefully it may encourage her artistic nature..you never know what impresses children. And the price was fantastic! Thanks. I do have a video of her playing, but didn't want to put it out there without her mother's permission. It's adorable, though. Trust me.

Honest reviews on 30 Key Classic Baby Grand

My husband and I were looking at a number of different kid size pianos for our "Santa" gift for our 2.5 yr old. She loves here little digital Casio keyboard and her Grandma's big piano. Since we want to capitalize on her love of music and get her going, we wanted to get a piano. This is beautifully made and super solid. Unfortunately, we did not understand that it was not going to sound anything like a piano. It sounds clangy and chimy since it is a plastic hammer hitting a thin metal rod. We made the mistake of waiting until Xmas Eve to put it together and try it. Had we more intelligently done it sooner, we would have returned it and spent half the money on the digital one with karaoke mike. Our daughter bangs on it periodically but is not as excited about it as the digital we hoped to say goodbye to and other pianos she's been around.

I was a little disappointed when I assembled the Schoenhut 30-kay Classic Baby Grand for my son -on 2 accounts: key action and paint fumes.

First, the odor of paint / thinner was disconcerting. While unpacking and assembling I found the odor of fresh paint / varnish overwhelming and felt very uneasy about having this item in my infant son's playroom (much less seating him at it). It was only then that I noticed the "Made in China" tagline.

Please understand, I grew up in a wood shop staining and varnishing wood projects. I am NOT, by any means, overly sensitive to these vapors. (In fact, I tend to enjoy them ... but not for infants.)

These vapors were VERY STRONG and filled our entire dining room -almost as if I were applying a fresh coat right there. Actually sitting AT the piano, the vapors were so strong that they began to cause me to feel those very familiar symptoms of warm nose and lips.

Even after wiping down the entire piano with a Clorox wipe, the vapors were still notable but less alarming.

SECOND, don't be confused by the elaborate shell and lovely paint: This is very much a toy piano. The keyboard is no better than you would find in a $20 toy piano. Keys shift wildly from side to side and it's hard to play a note without actuating an adjacent hammer. I wasn't expecting the same action as an actual piano, but I was disappointed to find the same key action as a cheap toy piano. I guess I was expecting something in between.

It seems to me that they could easily improve the keyboard action with a few simple, low cost changes -gluing a strip of flanel or felt between each key, for example.
