Piano and Keyboard History
Bartolomeo Cristofori di Francesco was a musical instrument maker that is famous for creating the piano. He created the Piano in 1709 after being appointed to the Florentine Court of Grand Prince Ferdinando de' Medici to care for his instruments The word Piano is shortened from the word Pianoforte which was an Italian term for the early versions of the instrument. The first instrument similar to an Electronic Keyboard was the Denis d’or stringed instrument build by Vaclav Prokop Dovis in 1753. It has 700 strings that were temporarily electrified enhancing their sonic qualities. Jean Baptiste Thillaie then developed another Keyboard Instrument in 1760 called the Clavecin Electrique. This instrument was activated by electricity but did not use electricity to produce sound. The first truly Electronic Keyboard was invented by Elisha Gray and was called the musical telegraph which made sound from an electromagnetic circuits vibration.
