For the most part, Bach played the organ, harpsichord and clavichord, which were quite similar to the present day piano except for some new added features. When the piano was introduced in Germany in the 1730's, Bach critiqued the early instruments and found them lacking in some respects; this is said to have led to their being improved to Bach's satisfaction. He's also known to have played the new pianos at the court of Frederick the Great, at the request of the king. But to what extent he played the instrument isn't known.
