piano for all - piano for all review

The name comes from the Italian piano. Around the year 1709, there was a musical instrument craftsman named Francesco Bartolomeo Cristofori in Florence, the Medici family. He is looking for a musical instrument when compared with primitive piano strings (called a harpsichord), more able to express feelings, namely that the keyboard can at will remove the strong and weak voice.

At that time the piano has a name that is not permanent, after a century ago has a new name we call the piano as usual.

Cristofori at first using a mechanical device which sounds generated by striking with a hammer on the strings, it is appropriate escapement principle that piano sound engine has more expression, the level of his voice is richer, and can be directly through the pressure of the piano keys by the fingers in her voice control.

After that the prototype machine fitted with vibration damping system back lever for speed punches the strings 10 times faster. In order for the keyboard can connect with fast speed and the sound can also be added to 8 degrees as much as 4 times, and from there created a modern piano.

A century after the first invented by Cristofori piano, piano, harpsichord ancient models still lead position on the stage. But this leadership role is slowly being replaced by a key board instruments, the symbol of the modern piano.
