Description
This was a handheld electronic toy piano from either the late 80's or early 90's. There were small numbered buttons on the face of the case ranging from 1-9. The case was opaque (see through) and came in a range of colors. Mine was hot pink, and inside the case was some laminated papers with numbers on them which would allow the player to play a song by striking the correct sequence of numbers on the keypad. I have NO idea who the manufacturer was, or the name of this toy. I also do not have a photo either, but the toy was no bigger than a flip-face cell phone unfolded. If anyone has any specific information, I would greatly appreciate any help.

I remember these as well! Seems like we would always pick them up at flea markets. The sheet would teach you to play simple songs like twinkle twinkle little star and mary had a lamb. The keys were rubbery like on a cheap calculator. Anyways, thought I would share what I remember about them. Would like to track some down myself :)
I remember these too! You could see the wiring & stuff on the bottom right? And some of them lit up. They didn't really sound like pianos...the beeps were high-pitched early cell-phone music tones. I had a few over the years...neon colored mostly. I wonder if they're still around?
err, sorry I meant "the beeps were *like* high-pitched early cell-phone music tones"
yes, i remeber these at well. i would love to be able to find one to show my kids.
Forgot all about these! I had an aqua-colored one!
I had one of these too, it was pretty fun. Also, opaque is actually the opposite of see-through, just thought I'd point that out
Hahaha, I had to bed for one of those, which is funny because they were probably really cheap. And now I'm a pianist. Go figure.
I had one of these, its how I learnt to play Twinkle Little Star
Holy cow, Batman! I just clicked on this one by chance...I used to love these as a kid! I sure made my parents regret buying these for me hehe
they were lots of fun. easy to take on car trips and drive parents nuts.
I had one of these,was just talking the other day about wether or not they were still around I had tons of fun with mine.
i thought i was the only one looking for one of these!! i totally had one, i think it was baby blue or something i remember seeing them in the grocery stores! does anyone know where you can find one? or who made them?
My husband thought I was crazy for looking for this..I spent forever on google.. Man I really loved playing with that thing,at least until my parents got tired of hearing it and took it from me.
I LOVE these things! me and my sister used to get them every x-mas! parents played with them so much they wore em out before we got a chance :) in fact im going to track one down now ! nice post :)
I had one from inside a cereal box, my parents took it appart & I could play the circuit board with my fingers, just me though. My parents couldn't. It would be cool to find one & see if I can still do it.
Omg I had one :)Although mine was slightly different, we has loads as kids lol I believe they were from those cheap pound-shops ! Mine had the same rubbery keys but said doh-re-mi-fah-soh-la-ti-doh on them.... Still looking for one and I will share when I find one :)
Thanks! I've been typing electronic finger piano into ebay getting the wrong results, thanks to you I can call it by it's proper name, electron echo mini piano! The two results I got wanted $20 plus for them.... weren't they a few bucks twenty years ago? Been looking for them even in Asian stores, toy section, for years and haven't found them..... Thank you!
I still have mine
