We are expecting another grandbaby in about 6 weeks. I have a piano keyboard that hasn't been used in years. Am thinking I will give this keyboard to our grandbaby when she's older. Our other grandkids are older but out of state and it would be too much of a hassle to ship it to them plus it may be damaged during shipment. We visit them, we fly. They visit here, they fly so there isn't a chance to send it home with them. Is this a nice gift to give to our grandbaby?

hello carolbee i really do not understand what that a piano keyboard is. are you meaning like a regular keyboard that is portable that you can move around that sounds like a piano? or is it like a big regular piano that you have inside of your house somewhere? duh. lol but yes, to answer your question about would that be a good gift to give to your grandbaby when she gets older, i would think that that would be an excellent gift to one of your grandchildren like that. my mom and dad have a piano in their living room that they have had for years...my youngest brother used to take piano lessons and he wanted to be a concert pianoist (i know that i didn't spell that correctly) lol but his dreams of that didn't come true at all for him. have a beautiful day today!

The photo wouldn't go through the first time I posted it. This happens to me alot. I have no use for the keyboard and don't want to sell it. Would rather see our grandbaby have it and maybe our daughter will encourage her to play. Thanks for responding.

I think that is a great gift for any child. I had one at my house for the grandkids when they came here to play with it and they loved it then it eventually went to their house.

Keyboard - Piano keyboard
I don't play any longer so it just sits idle. May as well give it to our grandbaby and let her learn. The photo didn't post so I shall try again! Thanks for responding.

I agree and before you know it she will be old enough to be playing around with it then she will be playing tunes on it. Great gift.

That is a great Idea. My kids love playing on their Grandpas Piano and when I had it set up they loved my electronic piano. Now one of them is even taking classes and it is all from the past experiences. I present like that would be really heartfelt.

I remember playing on my grandmother's piano as a kid. Some things we never forget! Hopefully her mama and dad will try to capture her interest with the keyboard. We do have a musical family. Thanks for responding.

I would say so.....my eight year old granddaughter just got a keyboard...and she loves it. She is going to take lessons on it once they get settled in their new home. I think it's a wonderful gift to give a grandchild.

I do have young grandkids in Arizona but it's not smart to ship it there right now. Our grandson would ruin it by pounding on it. So I've decided to keep it here and take it to our about to be born new grandbaby later on. My daughter can play a little bit and will enjoy it as well. Thanks so much for responding.

Thank you. I am excited to be a grandma again and soon. Baby should be here in about 6 weeks. Hopefully she will have an interest in music and want to play. Thanks for responding.
