Does this piano really contain LEAD!!! How can they get away with that? It looks like a cute piano for my 2 yr old. Can people please advise back.

It may contain lead... shocking, most things do.... however the CPSC, Consumer Products Safety Commission, limits the amount that is an acceptable level to 100ppm (parts per million). Having worked in the toy industry, i can attest that this item has undergone product testing, and would not be allowed on amazon if they do not provide passing reports.Also, I saw that someone else commented that theirs stopped working shortly after purchase, and I must think it was just a faulty item. We've had ours for almost a year, its been used pretty much daily. 2 year old just banging on the keys and it is still going strong. The only thing is that now the mic is a little muffled, which honestly is not a bad thing ....

It is awesome. Just hit the grand piano button and it sounds just like the best piano. I love mine.

I think so. I bought it for my younger brother, and haven't touched it in a while, but I remember them being easy to play. The keys aren't as solid/hard as your traditional piano, but definitely kid friendly.

I haven't had any problems. The top is secured on very well. I lift it by the top when I want to move it. I haven't had any problems with the keys but my toddler (grandson) is not rough with the overall piano. He does hit the keys hard though and it's been fine. The only drawback that I can see is that the letter board behind the keys is cardboard and if he discovers that, I am sure he will pull it off so I might tape it because I would like to keep the letters in tact.

All i know is that it sounds good to me. I bought this piano for my Grandson he loves it. He feels the key action is comparable to a acoustic piano.

I really can't answer that forsure. It appears to be largely a plastic product. If there is lead I'm not sure where it would even be unless it's where the batteries go in the base of the unit. Sorry!

I just received my piano and am returning it. It sounds like an out of tune acoustic piano. Heard from Kawai and they haven't heard of that problem before. But to answer your question, in regards to the warranty that comes with it, it states you would have to send it back to them and pay the shipping. So if you are worried about a problem look at the warranty you are thinking of and check to see if you would have to send it back at your expense or if they would send someone out.

you can play SIMPLE songs on this piano. Therefore, if you buy books that have songs such as Mary Had A LIttle Lamb etc. These would be songs that you would only play with the right hand (the melody) but not the left hand as there aren't enough keys. I have bought two for my two year old grandson who loves it so much he wore the first one out (after about 8 months of literally continuous use!). If you have a child that is learning to read music, you may want to buy a more extensive, but cheap keyboard.

The bench has 3 height settings so it can go pretty low, probably yes to touching the ground. He will probably reach the keyboard but for sure will not be anywhere near a correct position to play piano. Maybe a better option is to leave the bench in a maximum height but to have an object near that he can place his feet on.

Yes it comes with a music holder. It's a very good piano. It's been almost a year sice we've bought it and we are so pleased with it:) Not one day goes by without us playing it. Good luck.

Scott, $250 is a low price for this piano. I paid around $500 and I am still very happy for what I have. This is one of the best investments I have made. I am a professional violinist and I can speak with no dought of the quality of this product. Let me know if you have any other questions.

It sounds very good for a toy piano, but it definitely sounds like a toy piano. If you want the sound of a real one, you will have to pay for it. My daughter enjoys her piano though. I would recommend it as a great toy.

We have had no problem whatsoever from our piano. I would say contact Casio's directly and ask them.

I personally did not have this particular problem with my children. Now that I am thinking about it, perhaps it was because I always had the piano catty cornered where they could still access all the features but a wall or a piece of furniture was behind 2 out of 3 sides thereby making it hard for the child to pitch backwards and taking the piano with it. The side with the piano keys always seemed stable. Hope this helps.

Great question. I wasn't aware that it may contain lead. I'll be getting rid of it if that's true.

I specifically looked for lead free. This was sent to my son, directly, so whether it was stated on the box, I don't know. And, he's thrown it away by now. He loved it, though!!

That's strange, from what I've read it has a heavy touch. I have the piano (but I'm not a pianist) and I'd say the touch is heavy. Either way, if you're concerned I'd recommend going to a local music shop and comparing the available models.
