Fact 1: There are 7500 working parts in the body of each piano.
That’s an enormous number of little pieces that need to be working perfectly to get the sound that you need!
Fact 2: The piano is generally considered to be a member of the percussion family because it only makes noise when a hammer hits a string.
Bet you didn’t know that you could be considered a percussionist!
Fact 3: The name ‘piano’ is actually a nickname for the full Italian name of the instrument, which is ‘pianoforte’.
This longer name was given to the instrument based on its ability to play notes very quietly (piano) or very loudly (forte).
