Michelsonne Paris was a French brand of toy piano manufactured from 1939 to 1970
The manufacturer didn’t think their small pianos was a “toy”-piano, so they called them Bell-tone pianos instead. So do we.
We sampled a charming quirky refurbished model with a staggering 15 dynamic layers X 3rr, plus release triggers. There are also mechanical noises and quirks mapped to separate tracks.
The library also includes other instruments where toy pianos tines have been prepared, played with motor-fan, and other treatments.
Vintage Toy Pianos vary greatly in personality. This model has wooden mechanics and custom softened hammers (No ugly sounding plastic). It has a mellow naturalness and full-bodied personality.
The library also includes several other toy-piano experiments and various cinematic toy-piano textures.

A library that expands toy piano's magical timbres far beyond its curiosity appeal. Performed with sensitivity, grace and top-of-the-line equipment.
A deluxe sounding toy piano sampled it to deep depths, capturing its delicate, whimsical character. And as we own quite a few of these miniature pianos, we had to record them all, as a bonus, but with a focus on the Michelsonne.
The centerpiece Michelsonne Toy piano, is full of delicate, expressive sounds that are perfect for adding a touch of whimsy and innocence to your music.
The other toy pianos range from soft, gentle tones to playful quirky, river textures, seductively percussive sounds.
Whether you’re working on a lighthearted, childlike composition, making a creepy horror score or a quirky romantic haze, you might find the sound you’re looking for here .
TIP : For instant creepy vibes, use the pitch-vibrato control, with a low vibrato speed. Choose and dial reverb according to taste. Maybe with one of the in-built high-quality spring-reverbs?
“Wow. The description “Vintage Toy Pianos” seriously undersells this instrument and the depth and variety of sounds available.”
