18 Key My First Piano in Red

18 Key My First Piano in Red. This Schoenhut Piano Company: "Leader in the World of Toy Pianos since 1872" Schoenhut's bright red, or white 18-key tabletop is the perfect choice for a toddler's first piano. Both fun and educational, it is an ideal instrument to use for developing eye-hand coordination and encouraging musical creativity. Chromatically tuned, the lovely chime-like notes are produced by little hammers striking precision-ground, German steel music rods (versus the conventional taut wires used in full-sized models).Schoenhut's patented Learning System, with its play-by-color teaching method, makes playing simple and fun. 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.My First Piano - presented on the Rosie O'Donnell Show1822Wcutout.gif (713219 bytes) 1822Pink_upload.gif (75765 bytes)Materials: Maple and HardboardSongbook includedRecommended Ages: 6 months to 2 yearsDimensions: 11-1-4 high, 9-3-8 deep, 12-3-8 wide.Weight: 11 lbs.
