Does a real size instrument like this exist?
Do you mean a tiny piano with a normal piano action?
Or a normal sized grand with a xylophone inside?

That first option would take some true nano engineering, and would be pretty useless i think.
I ment the second option.

Wow! Perfect if you don't have the space for an upright?

I’m holding out for the working LEGO piano model. There should be an update in the fall about possible production BTW; it takes 1800 Legos 🙀

Yann Tiersen uses toy pianos a lot on his albums.
Here is an example:

That's super cool!
Does a real size instrument like this exist? I think it doesn't, but.. why not? Some kind of xylophone instead of strings, put dampers in it like a piano, and you would have a unique instrument!
My thoughts exactly!

I ment the second option.
I don't know, I could see someone incorporating it into a tiny cooking or baking-a-cake show! 😂😂😂

The Playable LEGO piano has been approved for production and will have 2798 pieces!
We’re going to need a thread when we all build one.

I wouldn't call it playable, with a stool like that!
Lego is pretty neat, how about this. It's no piano, but impressive nonetheless:
