Because the Romantic Era roughly corresponds with the Industrial Revolution, there were many technical developments in musical instruments. For brass players, the invention of the piston valve and improved Metallurgy revolutionized Trumpet playing. This also led to the invention of better tubas, and horns. Woodwind instruments had keys added, with simplified fingering methods that increased agility in playing, and improved intonation. Because of that technology, manufacturers started making different versions of the same instruments, such as alto and bass clarinets. Steel strings helped stringed instruments play louder, and with a different kind of tone. The cast iron piano frame made pianos more robust, and louder, due to increased string tension.
