The piano is played by means of a keyboard that produces sound
by striking steel strings with felt hammers. The hammers immediately rebound allowing the strings to continue vibrating at their resonant frequency. These vibrations are transmitted through a bridge to a soundboard that amplifies them. It is sometimes classified as both percussion and a stringed
instrument. A pianist can produce notes at different dynamic levels by controlling the speed with which the hammers hit the strings.
The piano is a crucial instrument in Western classical music, jazz, film, television, and most other complex western musical genres. Since a large number of composers are proficient pianists, and because the piano keyboard offers an easy means of complex
melodic and harmonic interplay, the piano is often used as a tool for composition.
Pianos are referred to by nicknames including "the ivories," "the joanna," "the eighty-eight," and "the black(s) and white(s)," "the little joe(s)." Playing the piano is sometimes referred to as tickling the ivories.”
The invention of the modern piano is credited to Bartolomeo Cristofori of Padua, Italy in the early 1700s. Like many other inventions, the piano was founded on earlier technological innovations. In a clavichord the strings are struck by tangents, while in a harpsichord they are plucked by quills.
Cristofori's new instrument remained relatively unknown until an Italian writer, Scipione Maffei, wrote an enthusiastic article about it in 1711,
including a diagram of the mechanism. This article was widely distributed, and most of the next generation of piano builders started their work because of reading it. Viennese-style pianos were built with wood frames, two strings per note, & had leather-covered hammers. Some of these Viennese pianos had the opposite coloring of modern-day pianos; the natural keys were black & the accidental keys white.
Over time, the tonal range of the piano was also increased from the five octaves of Mozart's day to the 7 or more octaves found on modern pianos.
The Grand Piano
: Grand pianos have the frame and strings placed horizontally, with the strings extending away from the keyboard. This makes the grand piano a large instrument, for which the ideal setting is a spacious room with high ceilings for proper resonance.
The Upright Piano : Upright pianos, also called vertical pianos, are more compact because the frame and strings are placed vertically, extending in both directions from the keyboard and hammers. Some of the very best now approach the level of some grand pianos of the same size in tone quality and responsiveness.
The Electric Keyboard: Since the 
1980s, digital pianos have been available, which use digital sampling technology to reproduce the sound of each piano note. The best digital pianos are sophisticated, with features including working pedals, weighted keys, multiple voices, and MIDI interfaces. Also other keyboards are made to create very unique sounds or to imitate other instruments. These sounds include electronic sound waves, voices, strings, horns, drums, etc..
