 The South Carolina Museum is believed to have the first ever piano made in the United States. Greenville curator Tom Strange says the 250-year-old piano is an extraordinary find. He says it's dated back to the late 1700s, built by John Berent, who studied in London and then Portugal before moving to the United States. State News reports that the piano was donated to the museum by Nicholas and Pat Giordano, who have collected pianos for years.
