The first major industrial manufacturer of pianos is German and is called Blüthner. Little by little, the process evolves and an Alsatian family of German origin improved the instrument by modifying its hammer: the Silbermann family. Cristofori (1655-1731) develops the idea that the keys on which to press would operate hammers capable of striking the strings. The piano emerges from the evolution of the clavichord and harpsichord, beaten string instruments. Previously reserved for the elite and the upper class, this tool democratized in the second half of the 20th century. Born in Italy, remodeled several times in Germany, implemented industrially in the United States and now present in musical styles around the world, the piano is rich in history and features.


His is a really interesting story, from an instrument for the few to an ambitious product in the modern world: we have to go back to the dawn of the 18th century to see the birth of the ancestor of the pianos as we know it today. The piano, a wonderful and fascinating string instrument, is the protagonist of countless compositions that have marked the history of music.
