Was the first VCR made in 1956 and was it the size of a piano?

Well, kinda. The Ampex VR-1000 was first made in 1956 and it was about the size of a piano, BUT: a) it wasn't a Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) because it didn't use cassettes. Instead, these early Video Tape Recorders (VTRs) used large reels of tape that had to be loaded into the recorder's mechanism by hand. b) it wasn't actually the first video recorder, but it was the first successful one. The BBC tried to invent one and so did RCA, but these early recorders did not work very well and could only record a few minutes of video.


What was invented in 1971?

Video records were used in the 1950s to capture live images from television cameras. In 1956, Ampex sold the first VTR for $50,000! The first VCR was sold in 1971.
