Jaymar Toy Piano
A Jaymar Toy piano from an antique store

The story
I discovered pianobook a month or two ago. I’ve fallen in love! But I don’t have a traditional 88 key piano. So I decided to record my Jaymar Toy piano I bought from an antique store several years ago. Thanks to Christian, I’ve had the idea to modify the piano, adding a felt option, and opening up the front.
I’m submitting, knowing full well this is a draft. I’ve got plans for a V1.2, to be recorded later at night, and with more setup. This initial recording was an experiment, but it turned out to be a fairly well sounding experiment.
At this point, I’m looking for feedback, and fully understand if this doesn’t make it to the website. Especially with this “Story”! I’ve got a better one in the readme, in case you decide to put this in the library.

Joyous Jaymar
I love this. Its such cheerful fun sound which with the right notes can be creepy too! Well recorded and efficiently executed as an instrument. Really great.
A very wide Toy Piano
This well recorded toy piano has a really wide soundscape. It is decidedly stereo as one of its predominant features. The recording is well executed, as is the Kontakt programming. It is very playable, albeit in a somewhat limited range. The samples themselves seem to be free of noise, and if you're looking for a natural sounding toy piano, this won't leave you wanting.
Really clean sampling
I think this is by far the cleanest sampling of a toy piano on pianobook. You still get all those characteristic artifacts of a toy piano but i song hear any white noise which is super awesome. The recording is pretty nice as well, very close and clear sounding. I dont use toy pianos often but im definitely gonna stash this one away for safe keeping
