Rob and list, The butterfly on display at convention was indeed a tiny toylike piano like the one on display in the kid playhouse at the Edsall Ford mansion in Michigan. But Wurlitzer did make a larger one. One of my clients has one with a shortened keyboard. Very disconcerting to play on without 88 notes! Glad you enjoyed the convention. I can echo your sentiments. BTW, it was amazing how well some of the miniature pianos on display sounded! Ray T.
