Hasta La Ideas

The newly launched line from veteran toy maker Schoenhut (timed to coincide with their 135th anniversary) includes this 49-key Pro Baby Grand piano, which introduces a true piano sound to pint-size proportions without the use of electronics. The instrument helps kids learn by allowing them to reach the pedals—a factor piano teachers repeatedly emphasize as important for a proper lesson.

The Pro Baby Grand sells online for around $1,850 and an upright version runs about $1,325, also online. (Check out Schoenhut’s Gallery of Stars for adorable examples of their instruments in effect.)
