    Bought my 3 year old a wee keyboard for Christmas, which she finally got to play with last night. Currently at the kitchen table post-breakfast with her playing away on it.

    I appreciate this is waaay beneath the pay grade of you lot invested in this thread, but I am seriously impressed by how good this thing sounds for what is essentially a kid's toy. Shit's come a long way since I last used a self-contained keyboard at school...

    • Almost bought this one but opted for a Casio in the same price range.oey_oey
    • TheCasio SA-46, by any chance? if so, that was the other contender :) I just wanted something polyphonic.Nairn
    • omg what have you done? only three years old and already on the slippery slope of bankruptcy from kit addiction?hans_glib
    • It looks like an app, design has come full circle!nb

    • I got the Casio for my son last year, and it broke within a couple of weeks. I think I'll look into this as a replacement.monospaced
    • lol @doesnot. That kid will find out about TE and start the long beg.garbage
    • Great choice! I got myself a Summit last year but am still considering the PSS-A50 (same series) for fun. $80, fewer sounds than yours but an arpeggiator.spl33nidoru
    • NICE :)
      both my kids started learning piano and keys around the age of 5      exador1
    • They're 18 and 15 now, and still to this day play atleast an hour or 2 a day, just for fun...
      there's nothing quite like listening to your kids playing some      exador1
    • 70's keyboard/piano rock, or playing some original composition... i absolutely love it :)
      nice to have a house filled with great music :)      exador1
    • haha, this blew up! I'm sure 3 is far too young, but I wanted her to have something 'useful' to learn to fuck around with and to demistify the processNairn
    • @ex1 - how did you teach your kids at that age? I don't play piano myself, but would like to learn alongside her to help her along, when the time comesNairn
    • exactly Nairnoey_oey
    • Xmas gift was a drum set...she's two and she loves it.oey_oey
    • I have to play guitar and she the drums and then she sings "Just Like Heaven" from The Cure...I mean sort of. She loves that song.oey_oey
    • Me and her Mum, played it together during pregnancy among other songs but it seems that this one stucked.oey_oey
    • Today we performed for my parents via video chat.oey_oey
    • I have the Casio equivalent of that for my boys. They usually just turn on the demo music and crank it at full blast. They also pulled off all the black keys.nocomply
    • ^ LOL!oey_oey
