Genesis Of the Plano.

About two hundred wears ago
there lived Mt the court of Prince
Ferdinand de- Medici a Paduan
harpsichord maker, by name Bar
tOllomeo Christoferi, man of great
inventive genius. After innumer-
able experiments he solved the prob
lem, a long standing puzzle to the
musical instrument makers of the
period, of how TO make a satisfac-
torily working 'keyed psaltery,"
and by the method he invented of
overcoming the difficulties inherent
in the task he produced an instru-
ment which was the undoubted an
cestor of the pianoforte of today.
For the piano is, in essential, saws
writer in The Universal Magazine,
dulcimer with a fitted keyboard /;
it is not simply a modification of the
old harpsichord The latter, il is
true, did possess a keyboard, but the
depression of its keys caused a
"plucking" harplike action on the
strings and not the striking of a
hammer, with controlled rebound,
the peculiar characteristic of the
newer instrument.
From 1909, the date when Chris
toferi made his four "keyed psalter-
les" the piano at first slowly, but
afterward by leaps and bounds,
went on increasing and increasing
in popularity until now its manufac-
ture has become a great industry,
with an immense capital at its back
and employing thousands of work
men In its various branches.
