This review is from: Sesame Street Learn to Play Keyboard with Teaching Keys (Toy)

My toddler enjoyed this musical toy, which is an engaging introduction to musical instruments featuring her favorite Sesame Street characters. If you're looking for a Sesame Street toy that is cheap and will keep your child occupied, by all means, buy this toy. However, if you wanted to buy a musical toy that might last a couple of years, this is not the one you want!

After only TWO MONTHS, this toy started to produce the most disturbing, low-pitched noise that scared the bejeezus out of my daughter. After listening to a short song or a minute of "Demo All", seriously, this nerve-shattering noise from the bowels of purgatory churned through the speaker. Perhaps our keyboard was defective. Perhaps. It's still pathetic.

I would recommend a more interactive toy, such as a xylophone or glockenspiel, for a toddler. However, if you're looking for a keyboard specifically, look through some of the Amazon Customer Reviews of other products and rely on your instincts. We've had more luck with broken crayons than with toys like this.

I bought this piano last Christmas for a young four-year old, and it was her favorite gift. The piano just broke this Nov., and I'm buying another one. My granddaughter played with this toy everyday, and loved it. Even I enjoyed playing the tunes, following the lighted keys. Great toy! One drawback--without the accompanying handout, you do not know what preprogrammed songs match the numbered keys, but my granddaughter learned quickly how to find her favorites.

We got this toy about a year ago and it's still going strong. My son (2 years old)is autistic and occasionally throws his toys and drops them on the hard wood floor, he often jumps and walks on this keyboard and it still works perfectly so we've not encountered the durability issues others report. It has a better sound range and more functions than any other child's keyboard we could find and the black keys work (they often don't in toy keyboards). I like this keyboard a lot.
