The Piano

• The word piano is shortened from the word
  pianoforte, which is only used in formal language
  and derived from the original Italian name for
  the instrument, gravicèmbalo col piano e forte
  (literally harpsichord with soft and loud).
• The piano produces sound by striking steel
  strings with felt hammers that immediately
  rebound allowing the string to continue
  vibrating. These vibrations are transmitted
  through the bridges to the soundboard, which
  amplifies them.

The Modern Piano

• The Grand Piano
• Grand pianos have the frame and strings placed
  horizontally, with the strings extending away
  from the keyboard.
• Concert Grand, Boudoir Grand and the Baby
  Grand

• The Vertical Piano
• more compact because the frame and strings are
  placed vertically, extending in both directions
  from the keyboard and hammers. It is considered
  harder to produce a sensitive piano action when
  the hammers move horizontally, rather than upward
  against gravity as in a grand piano however, the
  very best upright pianos now approach the level
  of grand pianos of the same size in tone quality
  and responsiveness.
