I love a piano

It's a Baby Baby Grand Piano

From the country which became a byword for miniaturisation now comes a very very small piano, but it's still a grand and it still works.

Japanese toymaker Sega has unveiled what it is calling the world smallest fully-functioning grand piano.

Measuring just 25 centimetres in width and 18 centimetres in height, it poses a bit of a technical difficulty to pianists, especially those with larger fingers, as each key is only 4 millimetres wide.

But the piano has a full-range of 88 keys and makers are saying they've hit the high notes with this invention.

The inpiration behind the tiny piano was quite simple.

"Few households in Japan can afford a huge grand piano so we had to cut it down to this size for people who live in a small space," Yoshiyuki Endo, one of the developers of the mini piano said.

While serious musicians might turn up their noses at this undersized creation, which is a six time reduction of the original grand piano, Sega says big isn't always better.

The piano is set to go on sale in Japan on April 1, for some $400, and though it's just a toy, it's seems to be as entertaining and at times challenging as its full size cousin.
