toy piano
Child's tinkling instrument
A toy piano is a miniature piano designed for children, typically with a limited range of keys and a distinctive bright, tinkling sound produced by metal rods rather than strings.
The instrument has found serious musical use—composers like John Cage wrote pieces specifically for it: She performed the toy piano concerto with full orchestra.
