The First Piano







These pianos are all unique. Why? The top picture is a picture of the Pianoforte, which is what the original piano was called. The piano in the middle is most likely what Bartolomeo Cristofori's first piano looked like and the piano on the bottom is one of the first pianos brought to California.
The piano was first known as the "pianoforte" since the player of the instrument could vary the volume or intensity of the instrument.
