Best Answer

The invention of the modern piano is credited to Bartolomeo Cristofori of Padua, Italy, who was employed by Prince Ferdinand de Medici as the Keeper of the Instruments. He was an expert harpsichord maker and was well acquainted with the previous body of knowledge on stringed keyboard instruments. It is not known exactly when Cristofori first built a piano. An inventory made by his employers, the Medici family, indicates the existence of a piano by the year 1700; another document of doubtful authenticity indicates a date of 1698.[citation needed] The three Cristofori pianos that survive today date from the 1720s. --- Wikipedia.

No one can answer with any authority, but humans have probably made music for as long as humans have existed. The answer to the existence question may differ depending on your beliefs, but humans could go back hundreds of thousands or even millions of years with our origin (the origin of ALL humans) in central Africa.
