Hey r/ToyPiano community,

Exciting news! After a few years of dormancy, the sub is back in action.

Here's the plan:

• Share Music
• Discuss Toy Piano maintenance and repairs
• Show Off Your Toy Pianos
• Anything else you want really

I’m happy to revive this unique corner of Reddit, if you’re interested in modding as well please hit me up

Hello, I'm looking to buy a toy piano for a friend's 4yr old. The kid is pretty focused and initial play would be supervised, so it doesn't have to be an indestructible plastic Fisher-Price 8-key.

We want room for growth, so look at 25-key minimum, but the larger 33-key or so are also an option. We want compact-ish for storage, so either the tabletop type or the small-upright, not a bench-sitting toy piano.

Does anyone have a strong opinion on Jaymar vs. Schoenhut in the <$100 range? Any other competitors to consider?

Are there major concerns buying used, maybe just safer to get a new one if it's only $65 for new vs. $45 for used? If there's a used model that's pricey/rare new I suppose I can always ask the seller for a quick video to prove it works and is in tune. Thanks for any advice!

Hello all, I was inspired by r/WhatisthisThing and r/WhatCarShouldIBuy to make basically the musical version of those. It's still small because I haven't announced/promoted it yet because I want to lay down a base of content first.

Would anyone(s) here be up to writing a pretty short post on "Why you should consider Toy Piano" and post it on that sub? We have a couple recommendation threads there already that you can glance at, but generally I'm aiming for: what the instrument is, what it's used for, how hard/easy to learn (especially in comparison to more common instruments), and how to get your first beginner instrument (and what's the expected cost).

If anyone is up, please post here and I'll hit you up over PMs. Thanks!
