Yeah that makes sense when I looked under the hood before. Is there anything else?
knowledge: The Italian musical terms ''piano'' and ''forte'' indicate ''soft'' and ''loud'' respectively, in this context referring to the variations in volume (i.e., loudness) produced in response to a pianist's touch or pressure on the keys: the greater the velocity of a key press, the greater the force of the hammer hitting the strings, and the louder the sound of the note produced and the stronger the attack.
response: Yeah the words piano and forte mean soft and loud to show how much sound is from the keys being hit.

response: Well those would be acoustic pianos who have a wood case with soundboard and strings made of metal.
