history: Do you enjoy the Piano. I' used to work midnight's at a hotel over 6 years I thought my self how to play on the lobby piano.
knowledge: The first fortepianos in the 1700s had a quieter sound and smaller dynamic range.
response: Sounds interesting, I know that the first fortepianos had less dynamic range as well as not as loud of a sound.

Interesting. I wonder why the sound was changed?
knowledge: The word ''piano'' is a shortened form of ''pianoforte'', the Italian term for the early 1700s versions of the instrument, which in turn derives from ''gravicembalo col piano e forte'' and ''fortepiano''.
response: Not sure on that. The word though, is actually short for the Italian term, "pianoforte" which was the word for the 1700s form of the piano.

So the piano came from Italy?

response: Yes, it was invented by Bartolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700

Wow, I thought it was older. It dose have the most soothing sound when played properly.
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: Also, did you know the pianist can dictate the volume of the sound? If they hit a key hard it'll add more force to the hammer, in the piano, when it hits the strings, which makes a louder sound.

That's very interesting!  I know there's like metal pianos but how is it different from an acoustic piano?
knowledge: An acoustic piano usually has a protective wooden case surrounding the soundboard and metal strings, which are strung under great tension on a heavy metal frame.
response: I'm not aware of the metal piano's features but an acoustic piano has things like a wooden case that protects the soundboard and metal strings.
