Have you ever played the piano?  It's an instrument invented in Italy around the year 1700
Yeah I played it a few times. It is an amazing instrument.
Even though it was created back in the 17th century, it is still widely played today - our church has a piano player every Sunday.
I like to go to dueling piano bars. They make great accessories to night clubs.
You know, for a long time after it's invention it was so expensive.  It's good that it's not as hard to own one now.
That is true. Also, there are electronic keyboards that are almost as good as the real thing.
Yes, the electronic ones are capable of recreating a wide range of instrument sounds, even a pipe organ - so they are very versatile.
Plus they can fit in areas where a piano could not. I'm thinking of apartment buildings.
