WHITE FINISH
Coinciding with their 135th anniversary, Schoenhut Piano Company has introduced a line of mid-sized, 44-key, stringed pianos with perfect pitch and TRUE PIANO SOUND. This piano line is a new concept in the world of music and musical toys.
The keys on the 44-key piano and other Schoenhut toy pianos are the same dimensions as those on a full-sized piano, so children learn the proper "finger stretch" from the very beginning, and have an easier transition from toy piano to a larger piano. With a keyboard half the size of that on an adult piano, this 44-key piano's four and a half octave span allows plenty of room for playing with both hands. Working pedals are easy for children to reach.
Schoenhut, leader and innovator in the toy piano and musical toy industry, recognized the need for a mid-sized piano to ease the transition from a toy to a full-sized version. These beautifully crafted stringed instruments were created after months of in-depth collaboration on the design with a reputable, century-old piano manufacturing firm. This line is not intended to replace Schoenhut's vintage models that feature chime-like tones, like those originally developed by Alfred Schoenhut in 1872. Rather, the introduction is in response to requests from customers for a "new" sound. You can listen to a demonstration of the 44-key pianos here, at http://www.toypiano.com/toyfairvideo2007.htm
