The piano is a polyphonic keyboard musical instrument of the percussive string family. The name of the instrument comes from an abbreviation of piano-forte, its 18th century ancestor, described by Scipione Maffei as a "gravecembalo col piano e forte", that is to say a clavichord with the possibility of nuancing in intensity the sound directly by striking the keys, unlike the harpsichord or the organ. You can start playing the piano at the age of 4.
