Label TextToy pianos were first manufactured in the 19th-century, and had models created to resemble upright and, like this toy, grand pianos. Toy pianos operate in a similar way to their full-scale counterparts, though they swap strings for round metal rods that the hammers hit when keys are pressed. These toys are great tools to introduce musical instruments to children and inspire creative expression.
