I would like to start playing the piano but I feel I do not know much about it.
Oh its an accoustic musical instrument that is stringed and the hammers strike the strings
So thats what is going on inside those pianos. How long have pianos been around?
Its believed to have been around since around 1700 in Italy
That is incredible. Are they still fairly popular today?
Yes they are and the first pianos were actually smaller and quieter
Oh really. That is something I never knew about pianos. Are there different types now?
Yeah there are, an acoustic piano has a wooden box around it
Very cool. I may have to look into lessons now.
Its played using a keyboard and pressing the keys makes the hammers hit the stings, pretty cool actually
