New Toy

This is my Sadie’s Valerie’s cool toy keyboard that “Sadie” got for Christmas.

Sadie loved it, but ultimately Valerie seems to be the most taken with it, despite her seeming initial “that’s not a guitar where’s my guitar?” reaction.  In both cases, perhaps more so Val’s, when they bang on it the result is oddly musical rather than noisy.  That hardly seems likely, but then there are Sadie’s drawings with pleasing, consistent color combinations.  Go figure.

Oddly, the thing came with no sheet music as I’d expect a kid’s toy-yet-functional instrument to.  We had a little around that came with Sadie’s xylophone, but that’s been largely shredded.

It seems even more odd, because across the top they have a row of what you might call “play by numbers” labels.  Barely visible below the keys they also have the note letters.  I was thinking if I knew what the number system was called, I might find music similar to what I’d have expected to be included by searching the intertubes.

I’m glad it was such a hit, even though I really did have myself in mind as much as Sadie when I found it for $9.99.  That turned out to be $6.99!  Gotta love when that happens.
