Pianos were originally called piano-fortes. Before the piano was invented there was the harpsichord. On a harpsichord it was difficult to get any range of volume. When the piano first came out, it could do both the average range of a harpsichord and become gradually softer and louder. In musical terms, the words piano means soft and the word forte means loud. So, soft-loud.

They are many types of a piano.

Actually electric pianos did not replace acoustic pianos. There are literally millions of acoustic pianos in the united states alone, and more being bought every week.
