The piano was invented by Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655-1731) of Italy. Cristofori was unsatisfied by the lack of control that musicians had over the volume level of the harpsichord. He is credited for switching out the plucking mechanism with a hammer to create the modern piano in around the year 1700.
Who invented the first piano?
The first true piano was invented almost entirely by one man—Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655–1731) of Padua, who had been appointed in 1688 to the Florentine court of Grand Prince Ferdinando de' Medici to care for its harpsichords and eventually for its entire collection of musical instruments.
What was invented before piano?
At the end of the 15th century the Pianos closest predecessor, the harpsichord, was invented. The harpsichord was a crude tool. However, it was limited to a single volume that hindered a lot of expressions that was available in other contemporary instruments.
