Christopher Sholes invented the modern typewriter around l867 ? It was after the civil war as they were not used in that period. Sholes sold his patent to Remington until recently very much a business machines name. It is popularily believed,though with any fungible, mass-produced device such as a typewriter difficult to prove, that the frist popular writer to regularily use one was Mark Twain. (Tom Sawyer) was typed out as a manuscript, rather than hand-written, literal meaning of manuscript. Keyboat usical instruments, that"s a whole nother smoke, Clavichords and such like. There was a modest attempt to revive the clavichord as a sort of intermediate instrument between a piano and a guitar, with a guitar-like sound by some German instrument makes inthe ealry sixties. Despite Berlin Concerts for the Boys in Olive Drab ( USO Army benefits) the idea did not really Twang. it is interesting to speculate if it had it might have changed the course of popular music. Lap Steels are almost a form of clavichord but on a different principle used by C&W musicians.
