When are you referring to? When the piano was made, and beethoven and Mozart were still alive, the Pianos had a much worse tone than they do today. They were not as loud, so when you play an old piece these days and the term forte is in the piece, we do not play as loudly as we can on our pianos as it sounded different back then. But, it is ok if it is a loud and thumpy song. And since there were note as many keys on the piano back then, the composers were composing on limited keys

What sound does the piano make?

The piano has 88 keys, each one playing a different note, or sound pitch. Pressing a key on the keyboard causes a felt-covered hammer to strike steel strings. The hammers then rebound and the strings vibrate. These vibrations are transmitted through a bridge to a sound board that couples the acoustic energy into the air.
