[@midorimatsuda7241]

Yeah but when you have adult size hands on an itty bitty instrument you can't necessarily play all the notes you could on a full size. I'm willing to bet that the distance between say an A and A# on a 1/16th is a few millimeters. Rather than a toy piano, a piano without the black keys may be a better comparison.

Developing brand new respect for child prodigies, they sounded so good even on a smaller instrument

[@ferusskywalker9167]

Tbh, one of the main reasons that it sounds bad is that the instruments are too small for them, so their finger placement is wrong. It is also probably some fairly cheap instruments as well.

[@helenwong4230]

@@ferusskywalker9167 I understand that it is hard to play on a too small instrument as an adult, but I am also referring to the general bad sound quality of smaller instruments. I don't think makers would have made a really good violin in small sizes, yet the prodigies were able to do double harmonics or make high notes sing as we have seen on some previous episodes. I just thought it was an extra challenge when you are not playing on full size.

[@TheCyanSqueegee]

@@ferusskywalker9167 There are definitely just acoustic differences even just taking out any fingerings. If you hear them just play open strings the sound is still very tinny and not full at all, as there is much less room for air to resonate inside the instrument. I also agree that these probably aren't "top of the line" small instruments, if such a thing even exists, as that would be a complete waste of money since the child will grow out of it and most children aren't good enough to need a good instrument.
