Toys and Games Reviews of Fisher-Price Interactive Baby Grand Piano
Customer Review: blue keys circuit broke down
Summary: 1 Stars
The kids had an excellent time with the piano, and even I did... but 1 months into our fun time, the blue keys stopped playing. I'm not talking about gunk stuck under the keys, or mechanical problems. The circuits seem to have a bug, where the sound is clipped. All other functions still work, but with the two blue keys out of commission, this toy becomes just yet another piece of plastic junk. I tried to take it appart and see if there was a frayed contact, but everything is sealed. Can't take it appart to fix.
Feature-wise, I wish there were more truly interactive features: I wish the fast / slow toggle could apply to any music that was played (it only plays one tune fast or slow); I also wish the "metronome" would actually beat on its own, preferably to the rhythm of the music being played. It is just a handle that the kids can move back and forth themselves.
I really liked: the "music sheet" pages that turn to change the tune in song mode, and the fact that my daughter actually used the notes to figure out some simple songs, the awareness of pace, notes, pitch. Good for a wide range of ages -- if it actually worked! Like all other "table" toys, it is of great interest to cruisers, but with only 3 legs, slightly less stable.
So.... the kids (7 months and 3 year) had a great time playing with it, and it actually started the older one on being interested in our big piano. But there are so many better options out there.
We bought this 1.5 years ago from Amazon for about $65. I see it selling for $99 now... sure hope they fixed the blue key issue (many others have experienced this). Even so, I would buy a mechanical piano like Doug and Melissa's for $45 before I went to buy this -- even at a steep discount. It's leaving my home today at a garage sale, and since the keys don;t work, it will be gone for free. Don;t spend $99 on a toy that does not actually work...
Description of Fisher-Price Interactive Baby Grand Piano
Little ones can rock out with their very own Baby Grand Piano! This pint-sized piano teaches numbers and colors, as well as exposes them to musical concepts like tempo, pitch and style. Baby is encouraged to play and learn with the eight light-up keys and four activities with four songs led by a dancing character and "magic" music book. Features three modes: Learning, Musical Fun and Imagination. Requires 3 "C" batteries (not included). Measures 19" x 17" x 17". Adult assembly required.There?s nothing like watching small children fall in love with music. This baby grand will play Cupid to a toddler?s relationship to music. Just the right size for little fingers, with bright colors, lights, and familiar songs and learning concepts; kids will need no introduction before getting in there and starting to tickle those ivories! Three modes of play encourage children to enjoy music, learn basic concepts (alphabet, counting, opposites, etc.), or just play notes and chords on the eight-key keyboard. A plastic songbook (built into the piano) uses numerals on musical notation to teach aspiring musicians the correlation between the sounds they hear, the notes on the page, and the keys on the keyboard. Slides and buttons and dials can be manipulated to adjust tempo, pitch, and style, while a metronome keeps time. And a friendly maestro monster looms over the piano, dancing as your artiste creates composes her or his opuses. The music, as with so many children?s toys, is moderately unpleasant?nursery rhymes meet lounge jazz?but not the worst you?ll ever hear. And the joy toddlers will get out of playing their own melodies, as well as the potential for learning, far outweighs the burden of listening to cheesy tunes. Or you can just keep it in note-playing mode, and skip the pre-recorded tunes altogether! Three "C" batteries required (not included). Some adult assembly is required. --Emilie Coulter
