Toy Piano Glock

Toy Pianos were originally made in the 1800s in Germany and utilized a simple keyboard action with wooden hammers to strike tuned glass bars instead of strings. In the early 1870s, Albert Schoenhut developed durable metal bars, similar to a glockenspiel. This Schoenhut® Glockenspiel Toy Piano dates from the early 1900s. We recorded its beautiful tone with stereo close and room mics.
