About Schoenhut® Piano Company: “Leader in the World of Toy Pianos since 1872”

Schoenhut® toy pianos have delighted children, collectors, and professional musicians for decades. Since the company's founding in 1872 by

German emigrant Albert Schoenhut, the keyboards’ magical overtones, hypnotic charm and unique sound have matured from novelty to fine musical

instruments. Unsurpassed in quality, pitch and durability, each traditional model is still crafted entirely by hand and individually tuned. The

distinctive, chime-like notes of Schoenhut® toy pianos are produced by little hammers striking metal bars, versus conventional taut wires used in

full-sized models.

Schoenhut® toy pianos; designed for children and built to endure active play, are appropriate for young and old alike. Julliard-graduate Margaret

Leng Tan, an internationally acclaimed concert pianist, is an ardent fan of Schoenhut®. "Anything you can play on the big piano, you can play even

better on a toy," Ms. Tan told USA Today upon release of her CD "The Art of the Toy Piano” (Point Music).
