How was the first piano ever made?

I believe the piano started off as a monophonic stringed instrument, like a harp. The first pianos made sounds by the strings being mechanically plucked like a harpsichord. The placement of the harp on a resonating sound board and the eventual adaption of hammers hitting the strings gave birth to the piano and it's cloth covered hammers gave it a soft tone as well as robust tones, hence the true name- 'piano forte' meaning 'soft loud'
