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.
pianos can run really expensive, The Galaxy Piano is also among the most expensive pianos in the world as it costs $1.36 million.
Wow! that is expensive. in Italy fortepianos from the 1700s had a quieter sound than normal pianos.
as you mentioned they have been around since the 1700s but now a digital piano was not brought to the market until 1980
Yeah I think they are intended to provide an accurate simulation of an acoustic piano.
