Schroeder's toy instrument (5)

I believe the answer is:

piano

(Other definitions for piano that I've seen before include "Stringed instrument - to be played quietly" , "Keyboard instrument" , "soft passage" , "one of 6 [STEINWAYS]" , "entertain with this softly" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
