Do you enjoy the Piano. I' used to work midnight's at a hotel over 6 years I thought my self how to play on the lobby piano.
That's incredible! The pianos of the 1700s had a quieter sound and a lower dynamic range than modern ones
Interesting. I wonder why the sound was changed? 
Well, the word piano came from the word pianoforte, which is the Italian word for those instruments
So the piano came from Italy? 
Yes, it was invented by Bartolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700
Wow, I thought it was older. It dose have the most soothing sound when played properly. 
Yes it does! The words piano and forte refer to soft and loud, respectively. So a pianist has control over how hard he hits to keys to produce variation in loudness
I would think the piano has to be the most popular classical instrument. 
They are quite popular. The strings in a piano are strung under great tension and are surrounded in a protective wooden case
