EVOLUTION OF THE PIANO.
From the First Crude Instrument to Its
Present Perfection.
American Mink Sets

In the beginning the piano was
harp shaped piece of wood. having two
or three strings. From time to time
more strings were added until the
cithara was invented. This was an in
strument in the shape of capital r.
with ten strings stretched across the
open space. Many centuries afterward
musicians conceived the idea of
stretching strings across an open box.
About the year 1900 this was done, the
dulcimer made its appearance. and the
strings were struck with hammers.
For another hundred years or so
these hammers were held in the hands,
and then some genius invented a key
board, which, being struck by the i'm
gers, caused the hammers TO strike the
strings. This was called clavicy-
therium, or keyed cithara, and from
time to time it was modified and i'm
proved.
During Queen Elizabeth's time it
was called virginia. and then a spinet,
because the hammers were covered
with the spines of quilts, which struck
and caught the strings and produced
the sound.
During the period between 100 and

and thus developed the piano.
During the last century the inventive
genius of musicians the world over has
revised and improved it until it has
reached the present day perfection

twenty-five years after the landing of
