Schoenhut Piano Company takes the concept of pianos for the very young a step further with a new three-octave Traditional Deluxe Spinet. With a keyboard almost half the size of that on an adult piano, this model is designed for the three-to-nine-year-old. Not "just a toy," but a fine musical instrument, and lovely addition to your home, as well. Chromatically tuned, the lovely chime-like notes are produced by small 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 will also work 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. Materials: Maple, Birch and Hardboard. Piano Dimensions: 24" high x 24 3/4" wide x 12" deep. Matching bench: 14" wide x 11" high x 8" deep. 37 keys, 3 octaves. Mahogany and black color.
