i have always wanted to learn to play the piano
The piano is an acoustic instrument that was invented in italy in the 1700s I am surprised it is not older.
yea it seems like many intruments are based off of it, you can actually fine tune one, Pianos usually have around 220-230 strings that are made from steel and strung extremely tight in order to produce a sound when being struck by the hammers.
That is really interesting, the word "piano" actually means soft in italian and refers to the variation in sound from pianos and fortepianos.
