DEVELOPMENT OF THE PIANO
Centuries Of Invention Have Been
Needed to Bring II to Present
State Of Perfection.

Have you ever thought. when play.
ing some melodious sonata upon your
piano. that the instrument. as II Is
today, IS the perfection OF centuries
OF invention?
In the beginning II 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
instrument in the shape OF n capital
p. with ten strings stretched across
the open space Many centuries after
ward musicians conceived the idea
OF stretching strings across an open
box. About the year 1900 this was
done, the dulcrmor made its appear
ance. 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 keyboard. which. being struck by
the fingers. caused the hammers TO
strike the strings This was called a
c!avicythcrium. or keyed cithara. and
from time to time II was modified and
improved.
During Queen ElizRbeth's time IL
was called n virginia.. and then a
spinet. because the hammers were
covered with IN, sp!nss OF quilts,
which struck AMI caught the strings
and produced iEs .ound.
