A toy piano is a keyboard instrument resembling a piano, originally marketed as a "toy" version of a piano for children. The distinctive sound of a toy piano comes from its tuned metal bars, which are struck by hammers—conventional pianos use strings, not bars. As a result, the toy piano usually produces a rather tinny timbre.
They Might Be Giants and, in solo work, John Linnell, have utilized the sound of a toy piano on a few occasions. This may have been through sampling, sound synthesis, or the use of an actual toy piano or similar instrument.
