The immediate forerunners of the piano were the harpsichord and the clavichord.
The harpsichord mechanism draws a quill past a string in a plucking action, like a lute. As the key is released, a moveable damper returns to contact the string and mute it.
The clavichord has fixed dampers. The mechanism brings a metal tangent against the string to both strike it and act as a bridge to give it definite pitch.
The forte piano combined the striking action with the moveable damper and added other refinements to improve dynamic range and stability of pitch.
