The Piano's Structure and Composition By Joulin Schwerdtfeger Kent

The piano was invented by Bartolomeo Cristofori in Florence, Italy in the early 1700s.
Since then, the piano has undergone many changes. The piano is an instrument that has a
keyboard and strings. The piano is similar to the clavichord and harpsichord, but they all differ
from one another in how they make sounds. In the clavichord, strings are struck by tangents
which still affects the rope. In the harpsichord strings are plucked by the birds and the piano
strings that are struck by hammers, which allows you to bounce back and the string to vibrate at will.

The word comes from Italian piano gravicembalo name col piano e forte, which is the origin
to give the instrument. The name translated from harpsichord with soft and strong, which means
the piano has the capability to produce notes at different developments, depending on the difficulty that you press
keys.There are two pianos, which are piano and upright later invented
piano. All pianos consists of four parts, which is the case, the tailpiece, the keyboard and pedals.

The file contains all the channels and devices that produce sound. Grand pianos have
horizontal and vertical pianos rights cases. The tail is composed of strings,
the metal frame and the soundboard. The strings are made of steel. The decrease in notes on the piano
by string containing a note, and you move the notes are composed of two and possibly three
strings, which are pressed by the hammer at the same time. The metal frame of canned
strings in tension. The strings are attached to metal spikes on the metal frame at one end, and
other end is attached to pieces of metal called pins. You music on the piano by tightening or loosening of the
pins. The soundboard vibration enhances the resonance of the strings.

The keyboard is composed of white keys and black keys. A general regular piano has 88 keys,
but this can vary. The piano keys use the lever principle to operate. When you press
one of the keys on the keyboard, the back of the key increases and causes the exhaust to push
the hammer down, bounce off the string, and return to his position. The shock of the rises so that strings
can vibrate in both the hammer touches the strings.

The piano has two pedals normally, but some may have three. The right pedal is the
main ingredient used to pedal to play. This pedal is used to increase the shock and to extend the sound. The pedal on
the left is used to play soft.

Now a days there are hundreds of brands piano. Some, who are
Bosendorfer, Baldwin, Steinway, Boston, Kawai, Kimbal, Petrof and Yamaha. Grand Piano has a price
range from $ 10,000 to about 400,000 dollars. The most expensive in the world of piano is Alma --
Tadema Steinway, which was sold in an auction in 1998 to 1.2 million. The piano was purchased
by Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts.
