Piano Horn by Schylling

Perfect for my 3 1/2 year-old granddaughter! It is made very well. She’s having lots of fun with her piano horn.

Oh my God, the most fun and easy to learn instrument ever strongly recommend super fun for both adults and kids

I very much enjoy this It’s very fun to use and it’s very cheap and it actually doesn’t look like it will break but I just got it today so I don’t know anyways it’s pretty cool and definitely recommend buying

I bought this product so I could examine its usefulness as an educational tool or, if nothing else, kill some time when I'm bored. It certainly looks toy-like but is really a fine piece of work. Though labeled a "piano horn" it is actually a diatonic melodica. The piano keys are more like accordion keys but have a good feel to them. Though not concert quality, it feels more like a real instrument than a toy. I wasn't expecting to get this much for the price.The body and keys are plastic. The harmonica reeds are brass with poly foam seals, and the reed case, hinge and springs are steel. It is made to be played only by the right hand while being supported with the left by a replaceable Teflon strap. The hinge hub is glued in place so none of the key or reed mechanisms can be disassembled without breaking it. The embouchure shown in the picture has been replaced with an s-crook mouthpiece to enhance visibility of the keys while playing. The faux-bell can be removed to facilitate condensation removal. The reed box/key units are self clearing, I have yet to be troubled by moisture buildup there.Breath control is intuitive from pianissimo to forte. 13 keys cover 1 octave plus a major 7th from G4 to E6, and yes - you can play chords. Pitch is moderately in tune (I've seen better, even in a toy). Average deviation from equal temperament was <2Hz with A440 off by 2.7 cents and the worst was 5.7 cents sharp. This instrument cannot be tuned!The design is ingenious and well suited for kids 3 through 5 years-old. Older kids (6 and up) may want for a chromatic scale and less toy-like appearance. For the next step, take a look at the Hohner 32 Note Melodica Key Board.

I bought this as a birthday gift but tested it out first. It's actually got a nice sound to it and way better than a recorder or other type instruments along this line. Pretty pleased especially for the price.

I was very pleased that each note on this play instrument is well-defined. No flats or sharps, but it plays a C scale very well. After a few uses, my grandsons (3+5 years old) were making up songs and thoroughly enjoying them. Great tools for the beginner musicians in the family.

We got this for my 2 year old little girl and she love the thing. I really like the fact that it has keys that actually change the note. The sad part is the bell comes off easily and without it the toy doesn't work. Take a guess how long it was until took the bell off and lost it. I wish the bell was glued on, because there really isn't any reason to take it off.Kids can actually play music with this thing when it works.

Good
