People will inevitably be critical and say it is a toy. Good. Whilst it plays well, it is a little like a toy. It is for a child. Kids like toys.

This little funky Melissa & Doug 11315 Grand Piano grand piano is designed for children to learn and have fun. I am 6 foot tall, and whilst that isn’t considered that tall by today’s standards, it does mean that I couldn’t sit down on the included seat to test this one out. It’s very small and wouldn’t benefit me of course. However, that didn’t stop me having a go to find out what this little grand piano has to offer.

The overall quality looks very durable, and let’s face it – it has to be! When your child sits and plays this you want to be confident that it won’t break or damage easily. You can tell that the whole piano including the stool is very sturdy, and the keys can of course be hit really hard without any problems. I bought this piano for my 2-year-old daughter for Christmas this year, and I was sorely disappointed. I had never seen one in real life, but I assumed the quality would be fine since I generally like M& D toys. I was wrong. Straight out of the box it wobbles on the ground, the note guide is just a cheap piece of paper that was mounted sideways, and the sound is really tinny. I guess that’s what you get for an inexpensive toy piano, but I was hoping for more. The littlest musicians will enjoy exploring concepts of high and low notes and loud and soft. More experienced “maestros” can follow the color-coded songbook to learn nine child-friendly favorites! Of course, being a relatively small item, stability isn’t that easy. But they have used quality materials that provide a solid secure base. The piano is made from good quality wood with some metal and plastic fittings.There are plenty of instructional videos on YouTube that can help your child learn how to better play the piano if your child is more of a visual learner. Some of the easiest songs for children to learn on a toy piano include Mary Had a Little Lamb,Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,The Itsy Bitsy Spider and Old MacDonald Had a Farm.

Our two year-old and I sat down to play some piano only to find that the top of our Melissa & Doug "Learn-to-Play" Toy Piano wasn't working. Instead of the usual happy "ting-a-ling," it was more of a "clang- clank." This set us off on a three-hour instrument repair adventure! See inside the Melissa & Doug Toy Piano and learn how to fix this piano if the same thing happens to you. Special thanks to Brett's Hardware in Beacon, New York, for help finding the M6 bolt we were missing. And thank you to WMHT's Classical Companion radio station.
