Toys and Games Reviews of Blue Man Group Keyboard

Customer Review: It's very nice but I'm not sure it should be catagorized as a toy for younger children
Summary: 3 Stars

Blue Man Group Keyboard
I was excited when I found the Blue Man Group Keyboard by Manley after launching a search engine for musical toys for a four year old boy. The Manley site recommends this product for children 4 years old and up.
The keyboard is very sturdy and probably could withstand some rough handling by kids, but the children quickly lost interest.
The music runs along classical lines which they already get plenty of from their other educational toys. We were looking for something more along jazzier or hip hop lines. For that there is a port for an MP3 or IPOD -- where you can pipe in your own music -- which you have to buy seperatly. It would have been nice to see more detailed information given on the specifics.
All in all I'd recommend it for a muscically inclined middle school aged child.

Description of Blue Man Group Keyboard

Inspired by the ever-popular Blue Man group, this tabletop electronic keyboard provides the perfect introduction to music making. New technology interfaces give it an edge on other keyboards of its kind, and keeps beginners excited about music. The Blue Man keyboard features savvy styling, unique play patterns and engaging musical interactions. Furthermore, its... More MP3-compatible, meaning you can play music on top of your favorite MP3 tracks. Keyboard plays pre-recorded songs, and lets you record and play back your own musical masterpieces.
When is an electronic piano more than just a piano? When it's the Blue Man Group Keyboard Experience. This 37-key synthesizer keyboard offers a variety of instrument voices, including organ, guitar, trumpet, violin, strings, drums, slap bass, and others. Motion-sensitve tubes line the top and side of the keyboard. These tubes are used by waving your hands in front of them and can function as different drum voices, to "remix" one of the ten pre-programmed songs, or to adjust tempo and volume. It's a lot of fun to hit a drum snare or cymbal without actually touching anything, but it lacks the ability to simultaneously play both the drum and piano, cutting one off for the other. As for remixing the pre-programmed songs, motion in front of the tubes merely shuts on or off the different orchestral voices--nice, but not very useful. The little iPod drawer under the keyboard is a surprising feature--the built-in headphone plug pumps tunes from your music player (iPod or other) through the keyboard's speakers so you can play along to your favorite song. There's also a stereo out port, so you can pipe the music big into a home theater set-up or small into a pair of headphones. A bonus DVD of the Blue Man Group playing their instruments is included to inspire your creativity. --Porter B. Hall
