The piano is thought to have been invented in 1709 in Italy by Bartolomeo Christofori (1655 - 1732). He called his new instrument 'Gravicembalo col piano e forte' or 'pianoforte' which is Italian for (harpsichord with) soft and loud.
It was a modification of the harpsicord, were you basicly do the same as the piano, you tap the keys to hit the strings and produce sound. The harpsicord was invented in the 1400s.

∙ 13y agoThis question raises a lot of debate. There really is no set year as to when the piano was invented. We do know that they have been around since the 1500's. Other than that we have official recording of when the first one was invented.

∙ 12y agoThe invention of the modern piano is credited to Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655-1731) of Padua, Italy, who was employed by Ferdinando de' Medici, Grand Prince of Tuscany, as the Keeper of the Instruments. He was an expert harpsichord maker, and was well acquainted with the body of knowledge on stringed keyboard instruments. It is not known exactly when Cristofori first built a piano. An inventory made by his employers, the Medici family, indicates the existence of a piano by the year 1700; another document of doubtful authenticity indicates a date of 1698. A friend of the family by the name of Sebastian LeBlanc suggested the idea to switch the black and white keys. The three Cristofori pianos that survive today date from the 1720s.
