Even for Korg, though, the tinyPIANO represents something of a departure. OK, it's already released a miniaturised grand in the shape of the microPIANO, but the tinyPIANO is a genuine toy (albeit a digital and very nice-looking one) and designed very much for young children rather than hipster adults.

Speakers are built into the compact body. Since the instrument is powered by six AA batteries, you can enjoy piano performances anywhere and anytime. Without needing to be set up in a specific location, you can move the tinyPIANO from the living room to the bedroom or even outside according to how you feel that day, and enjoy music in the style you like. This instrument is too good to let the children monopolize; it's a miniature electronic piano that adults will enjoy as well. Korg seeks to inspire a love and appreciation for music by introducing a quality instrument from the very beginning. Carefully designed to produce incredibly rich tones, the Korg tinyPIANO is a wonderful and valuable gift for your children. Perfectly designed to inspire a musical curiosity from the early years, this powerful digital instrument is much more than just a toy. Twenty-five built-in sounds provides tremendous versatility over traditional, mechanical toy pianos - will always be in tune Good sound is not limited to grand piano tones. There are a total of 25 built-in sounds including sounds that you've heard in classic songs, such as electric piano, clavinet, organ and bell, as well as sounds that befit a miniature piano, such as music box and toy piano tones. You can learn the sounds of instruments while actually playing them, as if the tinyPIANO itself were a picture book of instruments.This being an instrument designed for children, we're pleased to be able to report that it's extremely solid and feels like it's built to last (though the sleek finish may be prone to scratching over time). It's actually pretty heavy, and there's no chance of it being pushed over. However, as its name suggests, it is small - for kids aged between one and three it's probably about perfect, but as your offspring get older they'll have to contort themselves to get down to the level of the keyboard. The cute design is essentially a miniaturized upright piano, with a fallboard just like on a real piano, and a miniature 25-note keyboard made by KORG for ease of playing. The body makes extensive use of wood for a solid feel when touched, giving it a sense of quality and sophistication that elevates the instrument above the category of toy piano, thus making it ideally suit the decor of any room.

Sounds: 25 (Toy Piano, Acoustic Piano x 3, Electric Piano x 2, Organ x 3, Music Box x 2, Bell x 3, Others x 11) First impressions stay with us. If it's an instrument, the sound of that instrument continues to reverberate in our hearts and minds even when we become adults.Just because something is called a toy piano, doesn’t mean it has to sound like a toy. If the instrument has correct pitch and accurate tone, a child who plays with the instrument will look forward to better instruments as they grow older. First impressions stay with us.

There are 25 mini keys that can be used to play any of the 25 built-in sounds. These range from the default toy piano patch to acoustic and electric pianos, organs, music boxes, bells and more. As you'd expect, these are a cut above what you'll hear on most toy keyboards, though whether their higher quality will be appreciated by a toddler is debatable.The KORG tinyPIANO is a digital piano made by a musical instrument manufacturer renowned for professional pianos for the children who carry the future.
