Hi Jeff, thanks for stopping by. Well, the first thing that comes to my head is Margaret Leng Tan, she even has a CD out of her playing all sorts of toy pianos, and some music written just for the toy piano. I believe she has toured a bit and given some concerts on toy pianos. Her website is here: home.earthlink.net/~margaretlengtan/

As far as instruments go, the best toy pianos are manufactured by Schoenhut (www.toypiano.com). Of course, if you want a more antique toy piano sound, you can go to antique malls, eBay, or flea markets to find a toy piano. As far as repertoire goes, I know John Cage wrote a delightful suite for toy piano.

I myself live in Fort Worth, so I'd be delighted to help out with such a concert. I think if you wrote to Margaret Leng Tan (her email is on her website above), she might have some ideas or at least be able to tell you more about what she does.

Keep me updated on the project!
Amy
