5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent piano for toddlers!, November 16, 2008

I highly recommend this kitty piano! We bought it for my daughter for her 2nd birthday and 5 months later she LOVES it! I really have nothing bad to say about this piano.. at all. I would just like to list all the pros about it!
- There is a volume control! YES! You (mom, dad, grandma, whoever) can actually turn down the volume to a reasonable level! Now granted.. she has figured out how to turn it back up.. but, point is.. there is a volume control!
- Microphone - and it works! It is retractable.. up to about a foot? Maybe less.. and it works, my daughter loves to sing in it. And, all you do is press the little button and it goes back into the keyboard!
- It records! My daughter hasnt figured out this feature yet.. but, it records your music and what you sing! That's pretty neat..
- She loves the music and songs. Has several really cute songs. Has songs with lyrics.. and just instrumental songs.
- Durable.. oh my.. is it ever! I have playdates regularly at my house.. and the kids have dropped it.. stood on it.. ran over it with the shopping cart / stroller.. and it has withheld it all! 5 stars regarding durability!
- You can tune the keys to play different sounds.. regular piano.. and some other instruments.. but also to a kitty! So.. when you press the keys it meows at you.. how cute?!
- After it sits out a while.. you'll hear the piano purr.. and meow once.. as to try to get the toddlers attention one last time. If toddler doesnt come back to it, it just shuts off. So.. if they start playing a song or whatever.. it does stop, its on a timer.. so you dont have to keep turning that off switch.

Love this toy.. highly recommended for any toddler. I dont have a negative thing to say about this toy.. all positive.. 5 stars!

3.0 out of 5 stars Has a technical error, but overall my kids love it., October 5, 2009

First of all, for the people who are opening up their cat keyboards and cutting wires to avoid the little songs...please people, get over yourselves. It's a kids toy. It's called "go play that in your room" if the sound gets too annoying. If you are not in to "meow meows" or cat songs, and just want a piano for your kids to learn on...then by all means don't buy a giant smile cat keyboard.

Overall this keyboard is fun for kids as they can play with 5 sounds, 5 rhythms, tempo speed control, keyboard record and playback, quite a few songs (no lyrics) they can sing to with their mic, and a few silly songs with lyrics that are all about cats.

There is however one big flaw which is why I knocked off 2 stars. The "piano" and "organ" sound are a 1/2 step off. The "bells" "banjo" and "meow" keyboard sounds are correct on key. So, if you are hoping to raise up a future musician...chances are when they go to learn "C" in a music lesson - their brains may be a little off whack as they will have been hearing a B flat all those years (especially if they are gifted with perfect pitch). Probably not a big deal to most, probably many who own this didn't even notice. But go check. I own two of these and they both do it. The worst part is the piano has the name of the note right above each piano key. Someone in China must have really been out to lunch when they approved this thing to start going down the assembly line. I mean, it's a piano...the only thing you really need to make sure it does is play the right notes right? lol.

5.0 out of 5 stars My son LOVES this piano!, August 18, 2008

This review is from: Kitty Keyboard Musical Piano Recorder Toy Parents Magazine (Toy)

My almost two year old loves this little piano. And for all the different things it does, I think its a great value. He likes to listen to the songs, play his own tunes and talk into the microphone. The songs are cute (although the words are kind of surprising!) and set to familiar tunes.

The toy is quite durable and we haven't had any problems with chipping paint or microphone feedback as previous reviewers have mentioned.
