The Tom Thumb Piano fits the criteria of special, unique, and character. But then I see another one, and the struggle begins! Just ask my wife! The struggle is real! And if it just so happens to be unusual or “special’ or has “character,” and if it happens to be priced right, then that desire somehow morphs into a need! When it comes to piano libraries I can’t seem to get enough. I love the sharp brightness of a Yamaha and Kawai, or the depth and beauty of Steinway. Yes, I do love pianos! Uprights, Grands, Baby Grands, Digital, Electric, just about any variety. Looking for a historical quirky piano with lots of character? Maybe you’ve found it. Not compatible with the Kontakt free Player. Requires Kontakt 5.7 or later full version. Produced by Douglas Morton & Arlan Schierbaum. Irving Berlin and his wife played a Tom Thumb in the Club Holland (or Holland Tavern) in Soho, NY, now known as the West Village.

The bandleader Eddie Duchene played one at a regular gig at the Tavern On The Green in Central Park in New York. Very similar to the piano in 'Casablanca', it was designed to be portable for people living in small spaces, gigging piano players and in restaurants they would move the piano from table to table. The sound goes from sentimental to brash conjuring up images of the roaring 20s. Only 67 keys, the perfect size for the gigging musician of the 1920s.

Built in the 1920s and popular in the speakeasies, brothels, restaurants and movie theaters, the Tom Thumb Pianos are small portable acoustic upright pianos. The Tom Thumb Piano, a small but mighty instrument is now offered for Kontakt full version.
