Materials come first on an instrument a small child will put their hands, arms, and occasionally mouth against. This 30-key wood grand piano is built from MDF, birch wood, and ABS, all safe and environmentally friendly and harmless to human health, and the surface is finished smooth so it will not irritate children's skin where wrists and forearms rest across the case during play. A soft cloth is all it takes to clean. Around that build sit the details that keep it usable day to day. A child-friendly curved angle design removes sharp corners, improved support with safety hinges keeps the lid from dropping on fingers, and a straight leg structure holds the 20 in by 19 in by 19 in case steady rather than rocking when a child leans into it. The matching bench measures 11 in by 7 in by 8 in overall, and a music rack holds sheet music upright. No electricity is required anywhere in the instrument, which removes batteries, charging, and the possibility of it going quiet halfway through a song. The elegant and delicate black finish draws children's attention on looks alone, and time spent playing cultivates a child's interest while improving hand-eye coordination, stimulating imagination, and helping the brain develop. It is recommended for children from 3 to 8 years old.
