Quick answer

Choose the Baby Einstein Magic Touch Piano for solo, open-ended musical exploration with touch-sensitive keys. Pick the Together in Tune Guitar if you want a wireless instrument that harmonizes with other toys for group play.

Touch vs strum: How each toy engages your child

The Magic Touch Piano uses capacitive touch technology—no buttons or keys to press. Your baby simply taps the wooden surface to trigger notes, making it easy for even the youngest toddlers to create melodies. The Guitar, by contrast, has a strumming motion that encourages a different kind of motor skill: sweeping or plucking across strings.

Both toys are made of wood and built for small hands, but the interaction style matters. If your child prefers tapping and exploring sounds at their own pace, the piano is more forgiving. If they enjoy mimicking grown-up strumming or love cause-and-effect actions, the guitar will feel more familiar.

Solo creativity vs wireless harmony

The Magic Touch Piano is a standalone instrument. It offers three modes of play that let your toddler make her own music or play along with built-in songs. It's designed for independent, self-directed play.

The Together in Tune Guitar stands out because it wirelessly connects to other Together in Tune instruments within range. When multiple toys are linked, they harmonize automatically. This turns solo play into a shared musical experience—great for siblings or playdates.

Trade-offs at a glance

  • Magic Touch Piano – Solo explorer: Best for independent play. The touch surface is very easy to activate, so even young toddlers can produce notes without frustration. Three modes keep the experience fresh, but there is no way to play with another child using the same toy.
  • Together in Tune Guitar – Social jammer: Best for group play. The wireless link lets multiple instruments harmonize, turning separate strumming into coordinated music. The strumming motion is more complex than tapping, so it may take a few tries for a very young toddler to master.
  • Price difference: The guitar (USD 28.34) costs about USD 7 more than the piano (USD 21.34). Both are discounted from their comparison prices. The extra cost buys wireless connectivity and group-play features. If your child will mostly play alone, the piano offers better value. If you plan to buy multiple Together in Tune toys, the guitar becomes more worthwhile.
