I believe the piano started off as a monophonic stringed instrument, like a harp. The first pianos made sounds by the strings being mechanically plucked like a harpsichord. The placement of the harp on a resonating sound board and the eventual adaption of hammers hitting the strings gave birth to the piano and it's cloth covered hammers gave it a soft tone as well as robust tones, hence the true name- 'piano forte' meaning 'soft loud'

The first piano was made when people developed on the idea of plucking the strings on a board by mixing it with a pipe organ. This resulted in the first piano. A Harpsichord.
