history: I want to learn an instrument, and am thinking about the piano.  Is that a good choice?

The piano is a stringed instrument?  Where are the strings?
knowledge: It is played using a keyboard, which is a row of keys (small levers) that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both hands to cause the hammers to strike the strings.
response: I don't know where but hammers strike the strings after the player's fingers and thumbs press or strike the keys on a keyboard.

Wow I would have never considered the piano a stringed instrument.  Are there any other interesting pieces to it?
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: The loudness of the strings is controlled by the force in pressure on the keys. The greater the velocity, the louder the sound.
