Listen to a Schoenhut Toy Piano
You can hear (and see) Schoenhut toy pianos performed on YouTube at the links below. The most famous performer is probably Margaret Leng Tan. Acording to the Schoenhut website:
“One of Schoenhut's® most ardent fans is Julliard-graduate Margaret Leng Tan of Brooklyn, a Singapore native who has won international acclaim for her concerts in which she performs using toy instruments.
“Ms. Tan has recorded an entire album using toy pianos custom-built for her by Schoenhut®. "Anything you can play on the big piano, you can play on a toy piano", Ms. Tan told USA Today upon release of her CD ‘The Art of the Toy Piano (Point Music)’”
The unique chime-like notes of Schoenhut® toy pianos are produced by little hammers striking metal bars, versus conventional taut wires used in full-sized models. Schoenhut® toy pianos, designed for children and built to endure active play, are appropriate for young and old alike.
