Summary: 5 Stars
When we threw out the Kick 'N Crawl Playbarn, I had wanted to go and get the Sparkling Symphony Gym. I couldn't find it anywhere I went, so I finally resorted to online purchasing. While I was looking for it, I came across this...the Sparkling Symphony Rock and Play Piano. It looked pretty cool, and the age range was higher then that of the gym. Our son is 8 months old, and as soon as we got it, we sat him on the seat and he proceeded to pound on the keys, turn the music sheet back and forth, and try and change the instrument. He even tried to move the on-off button. He will go from a sitting, to a leaning over, to a standing position, and literally dance while holding onto the side rails. We are absolutely satisfied with this product and will recommend it to all of our friends who have children his age and older. The Manufacturer's suggested age is a year, but our son is a little advanced for his 8 months...he's almost to the point he's walking. He's stood for a few seconds with no support, and he pulls up on EVERYTHING he can. We got this a week ago, and since then he is actually now sitting on the seat and leaning forward. The one thing I might mention is that the seat is a LITTLE further away from the piano then some babies would be accustomed to. There should be a way to adjust the seat so it can be closer or further away depending on how long the babies legs are. Other then that, we are satisfied...thanks for a great product :)Customer Review: Fun for the music lover

My 2 year old daughter enjoys playing with this toy. She got it for her first birthday, and though she has used it the entire year, it is not the first toy she wants to play with, nor does she use it every day.The toy has some advantages to it though. The three modes of play make it easy for a child to grow with this toy. The first level just plays classical music, the second plays little bits, and the third is strictly an organ. (my daughter is in the organ stage now)
There are a few things I didn't find necessary in this toy. 1) the rocking- my daughter never wanted to rock when she was on this toy. In music mode, she would sometimes dance, but never on the piano. 2) the option to switch musicd modes (violin, flute, etc) My daughter never had any interest in this. They all sound pretty much the same, and they are tinny at best. This is not even close to an accurate interpretation to what these instruments sound like. They should stick with organ/piano.
One wish for me was that they would have interchangable disks of different music- even I get tired of these same songs.
All in all, I think all children should be exposed to music, and some way of playing it, and that's why I think this toy is worth having in your childs collection.
Customer Review: Versatile, holds attention, & plays classical music!

This electronic piano is versatile, holds attention, and plays classical music! Versatile - the keyboard can be placed on the floor without legs/seat to entertain babies as young as 4 mos. It also has 3 different modes. In mode one, baby presses a key to hear an entire song. In mode two, baby presses a key to hear part of a song and presses another key to hear more. In mode three, baby can play their own song by tapping the keys. Attention holding - keys that light up, a plastic book above the keys that changes the tune when baby flips the pages, a plastic arrow that baby can point to select from five different instruments -- piano, violin, harp, tuba, or flute (the classical songs are then played by that instrument in a solo), handles that allow baby to use it standing up, a small seat that allows baby to sit and use it, and the piano shuts itself off if baby does not touch it. This saves on batteries! Musical repertoire - 4 classical songs and 4 children's tunes. We could not find any other musical piano for baby that played classical songs.Customer Review: A great musical toy!

My daughter, who loves music and dancing, got this for her first birthday and she simply adores it. So does her older 4 yr. old brother. What makes it great is that there are 3 different activity modes so both my kids are able to enjoy it. With my daughter for instance, I set it on the 1st mode so all she has to do is plant herself on the attached seat. When she begins to move or shake it (by holding the side handles), it will automatically play music. There is an instrument selector on the interface panel and it'll allow you to change the tune from piano to violin, flute, harp and even the trombone. My 4 yr. old likes to play with it on the 3rd mode so that he can create his own music. The whole toy seems to be quite sturdy and my daughter has never fallen off it (although there were a few close encounters.) So I do wish that the seat was just a tad wider but that's about it. Overall, I think this toy is great, esp. for introducing the little ones to music.Customer Review: Beethoven eat your heart out!
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter is totally nuts about music. Anytime the radio is on or she hears music on the T.V., she is bobbing her head, shaking her body, and singing ( or at least trying to sing). As soon as I saw this product I knew I had to buy it. I gave this to her for her first birthday. Assembly took about 7 minutes. It was very easy. As soon as I got done with that I grabbed her and put her on the seat. She went nuts with all the songs and lights. At first she kept falling off the seat because she wouldn't grab the handle bars but she got used to the rocking action and learned to steady herself (she still won't use the handle bars). She is 15 months now and has been playing with the piano everyday since she got it. The only thing I don't like is the seat. I think its too narrow. It's only 5 inches wide. Hopefully her [bottom] dosen't get to much bigger anytime soon.
