I have played piano all my life.  The piano is an acoustic, stringed musical instrument invented in Italy by Bartolomeo .
Awesome! I used to play piano when I was little, but I quit. What kind of songs do you like to play?
I recently learned all of Chester Benningtons piano parts from Linkin Park.b But that is played on a keyboard, And The word "piano" is a shortened form of "pianoforte"
How cool! When was the piano invented?
Its from the 1700's and The Italian musical terms "piano" and "forte" indicate "soft" and "loud" respectively,
Interesting...what's the difference between a piano and an organ? They both look similar, but I always wondered.
A organ has pipes to amplify the sound. The first fortepianos in the 1700s had a quieter sound
Is a fortepiano the same thing as a pianoforte?
Im pretty sure. An acoustic piano usually has a protective wooden case surrounding it
Ahh is that to make the sound louder? What are the keys typically made of?
